Raafat Salha

Raafat Salha, also known as Abu Mohammed, was the director of the Gaza and North office of Palestine’s national human rights institution, the Independent Commission for Human Rights. He was a prominent human rights defender who worked tirelessly to advocate for the rights of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Tragically, Salha was killed in an Israeli airstrike in January 2023, along with 13 members of his family, highlighting the severe risks faced by human rights advocates in conflict zones.
