Khaled Nabhan, who went viral for calling out to his three-year-old granddaughter as “the soul of my soul” after she was killed in an Israeli airstrike last year (2023), was killed on Monday (16 December 2024) in the Nuseirat camp, Gaza, in an Israeli airstrike.
Speaking on VOC’s PM Drive show, an activist and Palestinian lecturer of English at the University College of Applied Sciences in Gaza, Abeer Barakat, noted the precious loss of life.
She added that there are thousands of untold stories, like Nabhan, who were murdered in Israeli airstrikes and remained unaccounted for. She further outlined the current situation in Gaza as thousands evacuate and keep shifting camps.
“People from the northern part of Gaza have to evacuate to central Gaza as the attacks escalate. People are forced to leave behind their dead family members, and they are making camps in the cities just to stay alive and are operating on the bare minimum.”
“We never used to see these camps in the heart of Gaza City because most of them are in the southern part, so to see them in the northern part is unusual. The area in northern Gaza is completely destroyed, and it seems Israel is trying to take as much land as they can before reaching a ceasefire,” added Barakat.
