ALBAWABA - An animated short by Neero Dz about Gaza and Palestine took the internet by storm for its saddening yet powerful message about the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip since Oct. 7, 2023.
The animation short which was posted on YouTube in Nov. 2023, takes inspiration from Japan's anime medium by using similar character design elements, expressions, lighting, and backgrounds conveying the current everyday life of Gazans under the occupation by surviving the constant bombing and the shortage of food and water.
Gaza: Worthless Souls - An anime about Palestine and the Israeli occupation
The animation short in question isn't for the faint of heart as it showcases imagery of blood and death including the loss of family members due to the bombing, a father protecting his son from the rubble while on the other hand, a Palestinian buried from it and more horrifying events.
While the animation was produced by Neero DZ, the background art credit goes to a digital artist that goes by Idris Digiart who is as talented as Neero!
