Hala Saleh
Age 42 years old
Martyr DateOctober 25, 2023
The martyr Hala Saleh, 42 years old.
She worked in several institutions, including Takaful Insurance and the International Knowledge Rest Initiative. Books were her treasure, and because the blockade made everything in Gaza difficult to access, Hala struggled a lot, dreaming only of a large library that would open its doors to readers in Gaza
The last thing Hala wrote to her friend after her house was bombed, forcing her to seek refuge in another house… (the books flew everywhere). Her brother Haitham says, “My older sister, my little mother… how big was your heart, encompassing everyone. How cultured and mature was your mind, containing words, poems, novels, books, and proverbs. My heart will beat with your spirit and eternal love. Hala, the beloved of my heart.
Hala, along with her husband Mohammed Jarada, their daughter Maimona, and their loved one, was martyred in an Israeli airstrike on their home in Gaza on October 25, 2023.
