يقين حماد
influencer, activist
The 11-year-old volounteer and influencer, and her older brother, Mohamed Hammad, delivered food, toys and clothing to displaced families when they were killed, the Palestine Chronicle reports. She also played an active role in the Ouena collective – a Gaza-based nonprofit group dedicated to aid and humanitarian relief. Messages of grief and tributes from activists, Yaqeen’s followers and journalists poured in after news of her death spread online. “Her body may be gone, but her impact remains a beacon of humanity,” wrote Mahmoud Bassam, a photojournalist in Gaza. “Instead of being at school and enjoying her childhood, she was active on Instagram and participating in campaigns to help others in Gaza. No words. Absolutely no words,” another tribute read.
