Death of Photojournalist Moaz Abu Taha in Gaza Hospital Strike

August 25, 2025 – Palestine –

The Israeli airstrike that hit Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis claimed the life of Palestinian photojournalist Moaz Abu Taha, one of several journalists killed in the deadly attack. According to Al Jazeera’s live updates, Moaz Abu Taha was directly identified among the media professionals who were martyred in the strike.

Further confirmation from local posts relayed through social media and eyewitness testimonies emphasized his death in the attack on the hospital complex, which targeted both journalists and medical teams amidst the chaos.

Moaz Abu Taha had previously been recognized for his impactful visual journalism across the Gaza Strip. His work captured the human toll of the crisis—often featuring images from Nasser Hospital scenes—that brought global attention to the profound suffering unfolding in the enclave. Notably, he provided visual documentation of famine and the humanitarian devastation, such as heart‑wrenching scenes of malnourished children and mourning families within hospital corridors.

In one example, Mondoweiss featured his images portraying Palestinians mourning loved ones at the Nasser Medical Complex, including children on the brink of starvation—images that underscored the “point of no return” for Gaza’s most vulnerable. Earlier, the Financial Times, citing his photography, illustrated the constant struggle to preserve Gaza’s last functioning hospitals under relentless bombing.

These visuals were not mere documentation—they were powerful testimonies aiming to mobilize international awareness and response. Moaz Abu Taha’s presence on the ground, often under direct threat, reflected a commitment to bearing witness in one of the most dangerous conflict zones on the planet.

His death in the attack on Nasser Medical Complex stands as a grave reminder of the enormous risks journalists assume in war zones—especially in Gaza, where hospitals and humanitarian corridors are increasingly drawn into the crossfire.

In losing Moaz Abu Taha, the world lost a dedicated visual storyteller whose lens fought to capture humanity in the face of calamity.
