Humanitarian Mission — Mobile Bakery for Gaza

Humanitarian project with Fondazione Francesca Rava (NGO), commissioned by the Italian Civil Protection Department and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers — Jordan

I joined a humanitarian mission in Jordan, carried out in collaboration with Fondazione Francesca Rava, the Italian National Civil Protection Department, and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. The aim of the project was to provide communities affected by the ongoing crisis in Gaza with a mobile bakery, designed and prefabricated in Italy.

The bakery arrived in Jordan in two large containers, transported by Italian Air Force C-130 planes. Once on the ground, our team carefully reassembled the units, making sure every component was operational and ready for deployment. Alongside the assembly, we produced instructional videos demonstrating the bakery’s operation, so that once it reached Gaza, local teams would be able to run it efficiently and independently.

Throughout the mission, my role was to document every stage through photography. I focused not only on the technical process — the precision of the assembly, the logistics of transport, the coordination between teams — but also on the human side of the project: the people involved, the intensity of preparation, and the tangible impact of bringing a simple but essential resource like bread to communities in need.

The images I captured tell the story of collaboration and effort, highlighting how complex operations can translate into practical support for those who need it most. Beyond documentation, the visual material also serves to communicate the initiative to a wider audience, illustrating the care, planning, and dedication behind this mobile bakery and the larger humanitarian mission it supports.
