Fadi Almeghari was killed on Tuesday 26th May 2026. He was 25, the main breadwinner of his community and the primary carer for several children orphaned by IOF attacks. His writing and photography were internationally celebrated for their emotionally nuanced and evocative portrayal of life under occupation and more recently, genocide. His work can be seen on his Instagram page @fadimghari and his dependents can be supported at gofund.me
