Gaza’s photographers have been forced to capture violence no human should ever witness. What does it mean to repeatedly record a blinded boy or a father mourning his children? Huda Skaik asked eight Gazan photographers to share a photo of significance.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
