Saja Maher Al-Astal
Age 22 years old
Martyr DateJanuary 9, 2024
Saja Maher Al-Astal, a vibrant 22-year-old with an English translation degree, began as a web translator and later taught English at Yafa Youth Center. A lively activist with a beautiful smile.”
“During the Gaza war, she passionately volunteered, visiting patients and teaching in shelter schools. Her love for storytelling, reading, poetry, and art was unmatched. Tragically, on January 9th, 2024, Saja and her family became martyrs in an Israeli airstrike on their home. A painfully dramatic departure.”
إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we return.
