The idea has been circulating that northern Gaza is empty after a massive evacuation yesterday, but this is not true. There are still around 800,000 people in northern Gaza, and they are now facing increasing bombardment and starvation, with decreasing media coverage.
Most journalists who were in north Gaza have evacuated to the south, and that includes most or all of the best-known, English-speaking journalists with the highest follower counts. They are trying to share information from northern Gaza, but they already have a catastrophic situation to document in the south.
There are a few journalists and other social media users still in northern Gaza, but their accounts have a smaller following and they mostly post in Arabic, so the English-speaking world is not circulating their updates. These people have chosen to remain in extreme danger in order to document the ongoing atrocities in northern Gaza, but are receiving very little engagement with their content.
I will post the journalists and other Instagram users in north Gaza of whom I am aware. Please follow with them and engage with their content, so that the world doesn’t let Israel carry out genocide in northern Gaza in silence.
I will post Instagram usernames with links to their profiles, as well as provide their names if I can, as well as some details about who they are, from where in north Gaza they are posting, and details about what they’re saying. This is not a complete list, and there are a few people in this list who may not be in north Gaza, but I can’t distinguish their location and they’re sharing content from north Gaza. I apologize in advance for any and all errors I have made and will fix or update them as they appear to me.
