عمر فارس أبو شاويش

writer, activist

Bachelor of Journalism and Media from Al-Azhar University in Gaza City. "Omar Fares Abu Shawish, the first martyr during the war Original town #Barqa My friend and colleague at work, the administrative director of the Popular Committee for Refugees in Nuseirat Camp, for years we have been close at work, exchanging experiences between Bureij and Nuseirat camps. We worked like a beehive for any task assigned to us. There were many situations between Omar and me. I used to beat him by not answering the phone, but he did not get upset. We used to share work with each other. He would ask me for something, I would ask him for something else, and we would laugh and tell each other that life is about interests. Omar was ambitious and loved life, and God is my witness that he was a well-mannered young man who respected everyone. As for Nuseirat Camp, he was a young man who was accepted by everyone. Omar worked on an annual contract. He served Nuseirat Camp, and if he had not left us, he would have left a big mark in volunteer work in Nuseirat. May God have mercy on you, Omar"
