Five Days in Gaza
A camera crew spends five days inside the Gaza Strip in July 2006, working while the world's attention is fixed on the war breaking out in Lebanon. Residents tell the crew they feel forgotten, even as Israeli incursions leave neighborhoods without water, electricity, and passable roads. The footage moves through bombed houses and hospital wards, pairing images of wrecked infrastructure with testimony from families describing what an incursion looks like from inside a home rather than from a briefing room. Local doctors and aid workers describe trying to keep services running with fuel and supplies cut off, while parents talk about children who have not been to school in weeks. The film does not attempt a full accounting of the conflict; it stays inside a five-day window and lets the accumulation of small, specific losses, a demolished pharmacy, a family sleeping in a relative's garage, make the case that the crisis in Gaza kept going even when nobody outside was watching.
