People were shot while waiting for flour, aid workers were killed in marked convoys, and in August 2025 famine was confirmed in Gaza City. The ICC calls the starvation of civilians a war crime.
Israel has killed more journalists than any government since records began. Paramedics were killed in marked ambulances and buried in the sand.
An AI system marked tens of thousands of Palestinians as targets. Another tracked them home, so they could be bombed with their families. NAZA puts the officers who used them on camera.
Thousands of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank have been held without charge since October 2023. Israeli human rights groups have documented torture, and dozens of deaths in custody.
Gaza's largest hospitals were besieged, raided and left in ruins. Mass graves were found in their grounds. The UN human rights chief called for an independent investigation.
UNRWA is the backbone of aid in Gaza. Israel accused its staff, cut it off by law, and hundreds of its workers were killed. An independent review found Israel had not backed its main claim with evidence.
After an 11-week total blockade, food in Gaza was handed to a new Israeli- and US-backed foundation. In two months, more than 1,300 Palestinians were killed trying to get food.
By October 2025, UN satellite analysis found 81 percent of all structures in Gaza damaged or destroyed. Nearly everyone in Gaza has been forced from their home, many of them again and again.
A UN Commission of Inquiry, the world's two international courts and the leading human rights organizations, including Israeli ones, have reached findings on Gaza that leave little room for doubt.
Looking for the NAZA documentary? NAZA (with a Z) is the 2026 film by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor about Israel's targeting of civilians in Gaza. It has nothing to do with space.
NAZA opened in the US on 30 September and reaches UK and Irish cinemas on 15 October, with releases in 56 territories. After that, it will be free on theguardian.com.
In August 2025, the world's food security authority confirmed famine in Gaza City. It was the first famine ever confirmed in the Middle East, and it was caused by people, not by drought.
On 7 October 2023, a Hamas-led attack killed about 1,200 people in Israel and took 251 hostages. Israel's war on Gaza that followed has killed more than 73,800 Palestinians.
In July 2024, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories is unlawful and must end. Since then, killings, settler attacks and expulsions in the West Bank have only grown.
In 1948, around 750,000 Palestinians were expelled or fled from their homes during the creation of Israel. Their descendants make up most of Gaza's population, and they have never been allowed to return.
No Other Land filmed the people being driven from their land. NAZA films the people who chose the targets. Together, the two films by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor show both ends of the same system.
This is NAZA, the 2026 documentary by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. Not the space agency. NAZA is not NASA
