Dying to Exist - Sakir Khader

Dying to Exist by Dutch-Palestinian photographer Sakir Khader (Magnum Photos) offers a haunting and intimate portrayal of life in the Jenin refugee camp. Through striking photography and deeply personal stories, Khader captures the resilience, grief, and defiance of generations living under occupation. This powerful work sheds light on the everyday struggles of Palestinians, weaving together the narratives of martyrs, fighters, survivors, and those left behind. A heart-wrenching exploration of identity, resistance, and the human cost of conflict.

This book designed by Lana Soufeh and edited by Pouria Khojastehpay includes nearly 500 photos, handwritten letters from the subjects, recorded text conversations, an introductory essay, and an afterword by the photographer.
