Diremit mundi mare undae nunc mixtam tanto sibi. Nubes unda concordi. Fert his. Recessit mentes praecipites locum caligine sui egens erat. Silvas caeli regna.

Mahmoud Wael Dahdouh
Date of Death: 10/25/2023
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Cause of Death: Israeli airstrike on a residential building
Cause of Death: War Conflict
Nationality: Palestine
Pleas of surviving relatives: Wael Dahdouh, already known across the Arab world as a journalist who chronicled Gaza’s suffering for years, was catapulted into the center of unimaginable personal tragedy. Upon learning the news of his family’s death, while still reporting live, Wael’s raw and agonizing grief was broadcast worldwide. In interviews following the strike, his message remained heartbreakingly clear:
“They told us to go south. We went south. They told us it would be safer. But they killed my family anyway.”
His voice, usually steady and composed for television reporting, broke as he pleaded with the world to recognize what was happening in Gaza—not just as numbers in headlines, but as real lives lost to indiscriminate bombing. Despite the unimaginable loss, he returned to work just days later, holding back tears to continue reporting. His action sent a defiant message:
“This is what the occupation wants: for us to stop telling the story. But I will not stop. Mahmoud wanted to be a journalist like me. I will carry both of our voices forward.”

Wajdi Jaafra
Date of Death: 05/15/2021
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Cause of Death: He was shot and killed by Israeli forces
Cause of Death: War Conflict
Nationality: Palestine
Pleas of surviving relatives: The surviving relatives and family of Wajdi Jaafra have expressed deep anguish, grief, and frustration over his death and the circumstances surrounding it. Wajdi’s cousin, Rafat Jaafra, was vocal about the unjust and brutal nature of Wajdi’s killing. According to Rafat, the family rejected the Israeli army’s claim that Wajdi attempted a car-ramming attack. They insist that Wajdi was simply driving home and unexpectedly encountered a group of Israeli soldiers and settlers. Eyewitnesses from the al-Fawwar refugee camp confirmed that Wajdi was shot at without any warning, and that the soldiers did not allow him a chance to stop his car or take any evasive action.
The family’s pleas center around the notion of injustice. They argue that Wajdi was killed without cause, and his death is emblematic of the systemic violence Palestinians face from Israeli forces. Rafat Jaafra expressed that Wajdi was “killed without any warning and for no reason,” and that the family could not believe what had happened. The horror of seeing Wajdi’s bullet-riddled car and the sight of his bloodied body left an indelible mark on his loved ones.The surviving relatives and family of Wajdi Jaafra have expressed deep anguish, grief, and frustration over his death.
Hassan Ayyad
Date of Death: 05/05/2025
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Cause of Death: Killed in an Israeli airstrike
Cause of Death: War Conflict
Nationality: Palestine
Pleas of surviving relatives: After the death of 14-year-old Hassan Ayyad in an Israeli airstrike on May 6, 2025, the most heart-wrenching plea came from his father, Alaa Ayyad, who not only lost his only child but also a singing partner, a symbol of hope, and the soul of his life.
In an emotional interview with Palestinian journalist Essa Syam, Alaa Ayyad cried:
“Hassan was my heat, my soul, my son… my only son.”
“What can I tell you about Hassan? Hassan is everything.”
“I ask everyone to pray for mercy for his soul.”
Alaa’s grief was raw and overwhelming. As someone who often stood by Hassan during his performances, he did not only lose a child—he lost a companion whose voice echoed the suffering of Gaza and brought humanity to the horror around them. His pleas were not only for Hassan’s soul, but for a world to remember his son not as a statistic, but as a living, breathing child who sang the truth.
Journalists, neighbors, and relatives echoed the father’s sorrow, sharing videos of Hassan’s performances and flooding social media with messages of mourning. The community viewed Hassan as a child of Gaza, and his death as a shared wound.
