A member of the "Alef Multimedia" team, Ibrahim Al Otlah, won the Best News Film award at the Rory Peck Trust International Awards for his work on filming A Rescue Mission in Gaza.
During the award ceremony, Ibrahim dedicated his win to his colleague Marwan Al-Sawaf, a member of the film's production team, who was killed by an Israeli drone strike. Marwan is one of over 188 journalists killed by Israel during the recent assault on Gaza.
In his speech, Ibrahim highlighted that Israel is committing one of the largest massacres against journalists and their families in a small geographical area and within a short timeframe. He called for urgent action to save what remains of Gaza, its people, and the journalists risking their lives to report the truth.
Ibrahim Al Otla is a valued member of Alef Multimedia and has contributed to numerous films produced by the company, many of which have earned prestigious international awards in the past two years.
