Pictures of an old man with a wrinkled face, a dreamy young girl or children playing among the narrow streets of refugee camps decorated the narrow alleyways of Gaza’s Jabalia camp in mid-July. The message of the 70 young photographers who participated in the exhibition, called “Aziqqa” (Arabic for “Alleys”), was clear in its slogan: “The camp is the start of the story.”
The one-day exhibition, which attracted large crowds of visitors and journalists to Abu al-Aish Street, was the first of its kind in the Gaza Strip.
