RT by @DianaRibaGiner: We are devastated by the news that Roshdi Sarraj was killed in an Israeli airstrike on 22 October that hit his family's home in Tal al-Hawa in Gaza City.

A talented photojournalist, filmmaker, and a co-founder of “Ain Media”, an independent collective of Palestinian photographers and filmmakers based in the Gaza Strip. Roshdi worked with us last year to produce a short film to shed light on the human cost of the August 2022 offensive on the Gaza Strip. We invite you to watch the short film as a tribute to his memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3asfIlM7S0

Roshdi is the third member of Ain Media to be killed; Ibrahim Lafi was killed on 7 October, and Yasser Mourtaja was killed while covering the Great March of Return in 2018.

Roshdi’s sole purpose was to share stories from Gaza, not just during times of war and sorrow but also the simple and inspiring stories that people in Gaza share on a daily basis between pure joy and utter sadness.
Roshdi is survived by his wife, Shurouq, and his one-year-old daughter, Dania, and by countless friends and colleagues who will continue to be inspired by his example and commitment to truth, justice, and hope.
