Suhail Nassar is a Gaza-based street photographer who has documented urban life in the city over the past couple of years. Home to over two million people, Gaza is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Yet with the population of Gaza living under occupation by Israel, the vibrancy of everyday life often gives way to the desolation of destruction as its buildings and populace are carpet bombed. Through his lens, Nassar manages to chronicle the catastrophes that befall Gaza, as well as the fleeting moments of peace in between them that are so rarely shared.
