520 _aRafah, located at the southern tip of the Gaza Strip, is depicted as a bleak and tumultuous place with dilapidated buildings and a history marked by conflict. Joe Sacco explores a poignant incident from 1956 when 111 Palestinian refugees were killed by Israeli soldiers, revealing the complex and competing truths of the enduring war. In his work "Footnotes in Gaza," Sacco immerses himself in the daily life of Rafah, spanning five decades and capturing the voices of various individuals affected by the conflict. Through meticulous visual journalism, Sacco transforms this critical contemporary conflict into a vivid and immediate experience, making "Footnotes in Gaza" his most ambitious work to date.
