巴勒斯坦摄影记者莫塔兹·阿扎伊扎周一表示,他会见了巴黎市长埃马纽埃尔·格雷瓜尔,讨论加沙、巴勒斯坦以及他记录巴勒斯坦人生活的经历。
Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza said Monday he met with Paris Mayor Emmanuel Gregoire to discuss Gaza, Palestine, and his experiences documenting the lives of Palestinians.
阿扎伊扎在美社交媒体平台Instagram的帖子中表示,他接受了格雷瓜尔的邀请,进行“一次会面和关于加沙、巴勒斯坦,以及我作为巴勒斯坦摄影记者的历程的公开对话”。他说,讨论涉及加沙的日常生活、他照片背后的故事,以及确保巴勒斯坦声音不被遗忘的共同责任。
Azaiza said in a post on US social media platform Instagram that he accepted an invitation from Gregoire for “a meeting and an open conversation about Gaza, Palestine, and my journey as a Palestinian photojournalist.”The discussions covered daily life in Gaza, the stories behind his photographs, and the shared responsibility to ensure Palestinian voices are not forgotten, he said.
“最令我感动的是他真诚的倾听兴趣、他的团结,以及他探索为加沙和巴勒斯坦人民做更多事情的意愿,”阿扎伊扎写道。
“What meant the most to me was his genuine interest in listening, his solidarity, and his willingness to explore ways to do more for Gaza and the Palestinian people,” Azaiza wrote.
这位摄影记者表示,在可以做出决策并开始采取有意义行动的场合看到此类对话发生,意义重大,此前他已花费数年记录其民族的苦难、韧性和人性。
The photojournalist said seeing such conversations take place in settings where decisions can be made and meaningful action can begin was significant after years spent documenting his people’s suffering, resilience, and humanity.
“我一直相信,摄影不仅仅是捕捉瞬间。它是给予人们发声的方式,保存他们的故事,并提醒世界我们共同的人性,”他说。阿扎伊扎表达了希望讨论能产生切实成果的愿望。
“I have always believed that photography is more than capturing a moment. It is a way of giving people a voice, preserving their stories, and reminding the world of our shared humanity,” he said. Azaiza expressed hope that the discussions would produce tangible results.
“我希望这样的对话能转化为真正改变人们生活的实际行动,”他说。
“My hope is that conversations like this will turn into real actions that make a difference in people’s lives,” he said.
“我们的故事值得被听见。我们的人民值得在自由、尊严与和平中生活。”
“Our stories deserve to be heard. Our people deserve to live in freedom, dignity, and peace.”
