Shahd Hassanin is originally from Rafah but now finds herself displaced in Al-Nuseirat, carrying her hometown’s spirit wherever she goes. She is a graduate of Al-Azhar University with a degree in English and French literature. Through her pen, she is trying to be “a voice for the unheard, a witness to resilience.”
