emerging writers from Palestine tell their stories and advocate for their human rights

Amal Alhattab

Amal Alhattab is a passionate storyteller and committed supporter for her community. Currently, Amal is focusing on documenting her experiences and the impact of war through personal essays and videos on social media to raise awareness of the Palestinian cause.

Before the war, Amal had a job writing articles on Upwork and was preparing to graduate with a degree in English Translation from Al-Azhar University. She plans to go to Europe to earn her Master’s degree.

With a background in academic writing and English language, Amal has been immersed in the freelancing field. Her writing is driven by a commitment to sharing the lived experiences of people affected by the war, with a focus on the psychological and emotional impact.

Amal’s own journey is deeply intertwined with experiences of displacement and loss. Having lost her home, dreams and life in Gaza, she channels her resilience and hope into her storytelling, aiming to inspire others and highlight the human side of the war of genocide.

Her hope is to see a future in which children and people can once again live freely and rebuild Gaza and where peace prevails. She hopes to continue to be able to share her ideas and to always have hope for a bright future and a life full of achievements.
