When photographer Mosa'ab Elshamy crossed into Gaza through a tunnel to cover the week-long Israel-Hamas conflict, he didn't know quite what to expect. In the morgues and on the streets, he struggled to capture iconic images of grief-stricken Gazans without intruding too much on a family's most intimate moments. The experience led him to reflect on the delicate balance between being a professional recorder of conflict and maintaining a human perspective, even while bombs are falling all around from almost-invisible sources.
