Najah Ramadan Eid Shaqura

Their life

Najah Shaqura, a Palestinian woman from Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, became another tragic casualty of Israel’s devastating military campaign when an airstrike targeted her family home in 2025. The Shaqura residence, like countless others across Gaza, had transformed into a shelter for displaced families fleeing Israel’s relentless bombardment. Without warning, the strike obliterated the building, killing Najah and multiple family members in an instant—a brutal example of the Israeli military’s widespread use of indiscriminate attacks in densely populated civilian areas.

The cause of death for Najah Shaqura and several other family members was fatal injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike.

A plea from the family

​As of now, there are no publicly available statements or recorded pleas from the surviving relatives of Najah Shaqura, who was killed alongside several family members in an Israeli airstrike on their home in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip. The airstrike occurred without prior warning, resulting in the deaths of Najah and multiple family members.​ While specific accounts from Najah Shaqura's family are not available, the broader context of the conflict reveals that many Palestinian families have suffered devastating losses. For instance, in a separate incident, an Israeli airstrike flattened a three-story home in Gaza City, killing 10 people—half of them children. A survivor, Saed Al-Khour, who lost his family in the strike, stated: "There is no one from the resistance among them... Since 1 o’clock until now we have been pulling out the remains of children, women and elderly people."
