GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Jehad Alshrafi is a 23-year-old freelance photojournalist working with The Associated Press since May 2024 in the Gaza Strip. He documents the humanitarian crisis and the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on Gaza.

A photographer in Gaza has told the story of how he captured a series of harrowing photographs, showing an emaciated child. Ahmed al-Arini told BBC Newshour that he wanted to "show the rest of the world extreme hunger" that babies and children are experiencing in the Gaza Strip.
