Hiba[a] Kamal Abu Nada (Arabic: هبة كمال أبو ندى; 24 June 1991 – 20 October 2023) was a Palestinian poet, novelist, nutritionist,[2] and Wikimedian.[3] Her novel Oxygen is not for the dead won second place in the Sharjah Award for Arab Creativity in 2017.[4][5] She was killed in her home in Gaza Strip by an Israeli airstrike in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.

Biography

Abu Nada was born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia on 24 June 1991. She received a bachelor's degree of biochemistry from Islamic University, Gaza, and a master's degree in clinical nutrition from Al-Azhar University.[6]

She worked for a time at the Rusul Center for Creativity, associated with the al-Amal Institute for Orphans.[7] According to Al-Ayyam, she was "preoccupied with justice, the uprisings of the Arab Spring, and the realities of Palestinian life under occupation."[8]

She published a number of collections of poetry, and a novel, titled al-Uksujīn laysa lil-mawtā (‘Oxygen is not for the dead,’ Arabic: الأكسجين ليس للموتى). In 2017, she won second place in the 20th annual Sharjah Award for Arab Creativity, held by the United Arab Emirates, for her novel.[9][10] The book was republished by Dar Diwan in 2021.[11]

Death

Her last post online was on 8 October 2023, when she wrote[12]

Gaza’s night is dark apart from the glow of rockets, quiet apart from the sound of the bombs, terrifying apart from the comfort of prayer, black apart from the light of the martyrs. Good night, Gaza.

On 20 October 2023, she was killed in the Israel–Hamas war, during an airstrike by the Israeli Air Force, which hit her home in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. She was 32.[13][14]
