Rashida Tlaib presents Gaza's Motaz Azaiza with congressional record

US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was visited on Friday by Palestinian photographer Motaz Azaiza, who rose to prominence documenting Israel's war on Gaza, with a copy of the congressional record documenting his coverage of the war and the Palestinian people.

"We pray for your healing and the end of the genocide in Gaza," Tlaib said.

Azaiza spent 100 days documenting the war before announcing he was leaving Gaza in late January. He has since travelled to Qatar, Turkey, and the US.
