Mohammed Zaher Hamo

An ambitious young man from the besieged Gaza Strip. He is an English Literature and Translation student at the Islamic University of Gaza. Mohammed is passionate about football and LaLiga. He says: ‘‘I find myself whenever I am on the beach playing football.’’ Mohammed strongly believes that we, as Palestinians, must concentrate our efforts for the sake of the Palestinian cause. When he traveled to London in 2013, he was shocked to meet people who knew nothing about Palestine and even Gaza. He adds: “We must keep talking about Palestine and what’s going on there, regardless of the difficulties we encounter when doing so!” His ambition is to pursue a master’s degree in journalism.

“I want to help the oppressed people worldwide who are enduring several kinds of injustice in different parts of the world. I aspire to shed light on their suffering, raise global attention, and seek support for their cause. I am driven by a strong desire to make a difference and work towards creating an equitable world for all.”
