Yusuf El-Mobayed works as a freelancer reporter and writer with charity institutions in Gaza. He has survived more than six deadly onslaughts against humanity in Gaza.

He was a student at the Islamic University of Gaza, although he has not been able to complete his degree due to domestic issues and poverty. He worked as a writer and reporter for Palestine Now and the 16th October Group in Gaza before taking on a two-year stint as a language trainer and then returning once again to journalism.

Since childhood, he has been insanely passionate about becoming an internationally famous reporter who tells the unheard stories of Palestine to the outside world. He believes it is “only a matter of time” until his dreams come true, that is, “if I survive the genocide.”

Yusuf describes himself as a big dreamer, achiever, risk-taker, trouble-maker, opportunity-hunter, and a reporter. He also describes himself as “a guardian of truth, a weaver of narratives, and a relentless advocate for justice. In my hands, the power of storytelling becomes a force to be reckoned with, piercing through the shadows and illuminating the untold stories that lie buried beneath the rubble.”
