'Do Not Forget Gaza': The Final Will of Anas Al-Sharif
The Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif was killed alongside colleagues Mohammad Qreiqa, Ibrahim Daher, Mohammad Noufal, and Mo'men Al-Aywa in an airstrike that struck a journalists' tent near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza on August 10, 2025.
Al Jazeera and multiple human rights organizations condemned the attack as a 'deliberate assassination' intended to silence those documenting the war's realities. His final will, titled 'Do Not Forget Gaza,' has since become both a testament and a call to memory.
Moreover, he called on people to be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, and entrusted the care of his family – his daughter Sham, his son Salah, his wife, and his mother – to others
Summary of Anas Al-Sharif's Will (Final Message):
'Peace and mercy of God be upon you. I gave all my effort to be a voice for my people from the heart of Gaza. If these words have reached you, know that Israel has killed me and silenced my voice. I urge you not to forget Gaza, and not to forget me in your sincere prayers. I entrust my family to you: my daughter Sham, my son Salah, my mother, and my wife, Umm Salah. Stand by them after I am gone…
I pray to God to accept me as a martyr and make my blood a light on the path to freedom.' Video Documenting Dutch Activist Crying
A video circulating online shows a Dutch activist visibly overcome with emotion while reading a will aloud. His voice breaks several times as he struggles to continue, wiping away tears. Additionally, the video has been widely shared on Facebook and Instagram, drawing sympathetic comments from viewers.
Anas Jamal Mahmoud Al-Sharif (born December 3, 1996, in Jabalia Camp – Gaza) was a prominent Palestinian journalist with Al Jazeera, known for his courageous coverage from the heart of the war in Gaza. Despite 'direct threats from the Israeli army' , Anas continued to convey the truth until his team won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography in 2024.
