Life, death and resilience through a year of war in Gaza
Freelance videographer Mohamed El Saife has been heading out into the ruins of what used to be vibrant communities inside Gaza every day of the past year to document the lives upended by the Israel-Hamas war. These are some of the stories he's covered for CBC News.
This 20-year-old says IDF used him as a human shield when searching houses in Gaza. He's not the only one
A Palestinian civilian says he was unjustly detained by the IDF and made to take part in house-clearing operations in Gaza, forced to search buildings for explosives and Hamas militants before Israeli troops were cleared to enter. Rights advocates say it's something the IDF has done before in this and past conflicts.
A photo of this Gaza man at an Israeli detention camp was leaked to CNN. He tells CBC what happened inside
Ibrahim Salem spent 52 days of his eight months in Israeli custody at a detention facility in the Negev desert, where, he says, he was physically and psychologically tormented and beaten. He spoke to CBC about his time at Sde Teiman and the leaked photo of him that became symbolic of the abuse Palestinians who've been swept up in Israel's military operation inside Gaza say they've endured.
Women in Gaza giving birth without enough painkillers, clean water or food

Hungry children are dying in Gaza as Israel's chokehold on aid drives territory toward starvation

Palestinians fled to Rafah looking for safety. Now, with a ground offensive looming, they feel trapped
Since the start of the war in Gaza, more than a million displaced Palestinians have ended up in Rafah along the southern border with Egypt. They’re now running out of options as Israel threatens to launch a ground offensive.
'No one looks at me': 12-year-old amputee in Gaza on what the war cost him
UNICEF has estimated that more than 1,000 children in Gaza have had one or both of their legs amputated since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas. CBC recently met one 12-year-old amputee who said his injury has robbed him of the friendships and fun he used to have before the war and made him an outcast.
