Journalist Motaz Azaiza showed the world what Palestinians endure in war. Now he's left Gaza

An independent Palestinian photojournalist whose social media coverage of the war in Gaza gave millions of people around the world a view of life and death in the besieged territory, has evacuated after surviving 108 days of reporting amid relentless bombings and battles.

Motaz Azaiza covered Israel’s destructive bombardments of the Palestinian territory since Israel declared war against Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 militant attacks on Israeli communities.

In a video posted on his social media accounts Tuesday, Azaiza told his nearly 20 million followers he was laying down his blue “Press” flak jacket — for now. His caption read that he had to leave Gaza “for a lot of reasons,” but he did not explain further.

“I’m sorry but, inshallah (God willing), hopefully soon I will come back … and help build Gaza again,” he said in the video before sharing farewells with friends and colleagues surrounding him.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

An independent Palestinian photojournalist whose social media coverage of the war in Gaza gave millions of people around the world a view of life and death in the besieged territory, has evacuated after surviving 108 days of reporting amid relentless bombings and battles.

He departed for Qatar hours after his post, aboard a Qatari military aircraft, from Egypt’s El Arish International Airport, about 45 kilometres east of the Rafah border crossing to Gaza — the territory’s sole entry-exit point.

GQ Middle East also named Azaiza its “Man of the Year” for 2023 for his “unwavering courage,” saying he “became a global figure, a vehicle of resilience, and the embodiment of hope for the people of Gaza and for the rest of us around the world.”

Hind Khoudary, one of the Palestinian journalists seen sending off Azaiza, called him "an incredible friend and brother," saying in an Instagram post that his “actions towards Palestine and Gaza set a unique mark in history.”

Last week, Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh left for medical treatment in Qatar, where the Arabic and English news network is based, after the 53-year-old was injured in an Israeli drone strike.

The veteran reporter had already endured his wife being killed in October, along with his 15-year-old son, seven-year-old daughter and a young grandson, when an Israeli airstrike hit the home in southern Gaza where they were sheltering after fleeing from the north.
