Biography

Abu Nada was born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia on 24 June 1991 to a family of Palestinian refugees displaced by the depopulation of the village of Bayt Jirja by Israeli forces during the Nakba.[5] She received a bachelor's degree of biochemistry from Islamic University, Gaza, and a master's degree in clinical nutrition from Al-Azhar University.[6]

She worked for a time at the Rusul Center for Creativity, associated with the al-Amal Institute for Orphans.[7] According to Al-Ayyam, she was "preoccupied with justice, the uprisings of the Arab Spring, and the realities of Palestinian life under occupation."[8]

She published a number of collections of poetry, and a novel, titled al-Uksujīn laysa lil-mawtā (‘Oxygen is not for the dead,’ Шаблон:Lang-ar). In 2017, she won second place in the 20th annual Sharjah Award for Arab Creativity, held by the United Arab Emirates, for her novel.[9][10] The book was republished by Dar Diwan in 2021.[11]

Death

Some of her posts during in the first days of the war were shared and translated, becoming better known after her death. In her last post on X, shortly after the start of the Israel–Hamas war, she wrote:[12]

Gaza’s night is dark apart from the glow of rockets,
quiet apart from the sound of the bombs,
terrifying apart from the comfort of prayer,
black apart from the light of the martyrs.
Good night, Gaza.

Writer Anthony Anaxagorou translated a poem he reported was her last writing.[12] Physician and poet Fady Jouah translated one of her posts from 18 October:[13]

Each of us in Gaza is either witness to or martyr for liberation. Each is waiting to see which of the two they’ll become up there with God. We have already started building a new city in Heaven.

Doctors without patients. No one bleeds. Teachers in uncrowded classrooms. No yelling at students. New families without pain or sorrow. Journalists writing up and taking photos of eternal love. They’re all from Gaza.

In Heaven, the new Gaza is free of siege. It is taking shape now.

On 20 October 2023, she was killed by an Israeli airstrike while at her home in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. She was 32.[14][15]
