Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, 28, was one of Gaza's most recognisable faces for his constant reporting of the reality on the ground over the last 22 months. The father of two was born in Jabalia refugee camp and graduated from Al-Aqsa University's Faculty of Media. His father was killed by Israel in an air strike on the family home in December 2023.

Mohamed Duar is Amnesty International Australia's spokesperson for the occupied Palestinian Territories.

He explained why the organisation awarded Anas al-Sharif its Human Rights Defender Award.
