Diego Ibarra Sánchez is a Spanish visual storyteller based in Lebanon. He is the co-founder of The Visual Factory Academy, a space for reflection and responsibility in photography and journalism: a cultural association, an academy, and a community built on the belief that on-the-ground reporting still matters and makes a difference. Ibarra Sánchez is currently in Lebanon, where 1.5 million Lebanese people have been displaced due to the Israeli occupation. Despite the call for a ceasefire, over 2,659 people have been killed and 8,000 wounded, according to Al Jazeera.
