Fatma Hassouna
Fatma Hassouna was a Palestinian photojournalist whose tragic death on April 16, 2023, while covering the conflict in Gaza sparked outrage and calls for action from the artistic community. She was killed by the Israeli military just weeks before her wedding, and her death, along with the loss of ten family members in the same attack, prompted a powerful denunciation of the violence against civilians and the lack of response from the film industry, as highlighted by a recent open letter signed by numerous prominent artists.
