Slain Photojournalist's Last Words Echo Through Gaza

Gaza Photojournalist's Last Words: A Tribute to Fatima Hassouna Gaza, Palestine – Fatima Hassouna, a 23-year-old photojournalist, was tragically killed in March 2025 during an Israeli military operation in her neighborhood. Her death has sparked outrage and renewed calls for peace in the region. Hassouna's powerful photography and writings chronicled the daily lives of Palestinians under occupation, and her final words, expressing a desire for a 'loud death' rather than a quiet one, have resonated deeply with many. "If I die, I want a loud death," wrote Hassouna in a statement found among her belongings. These words, alongside her powerful images, capture the resilience and determination of those living under constant threat. Hassouna's work provided a critical voice for the Palestinian people, and her death is a significant loss for the region's journalistic community. Her legacy, however, will continue to inspire those fighting for justice and peace. The video tribute created by watermelonpictures and lanzybear serves as a moving reminder of her life and work.
