1.- Marwa Ashraf Mohamed Muslim was a 26-year-old journalist from Gaza City; she worked at Radio Al Shabab, where she hosted two programs: the morning show “Bashair al-Sabah” and the social affairs program “Dhat.”
2.- She lived with her parents and her two brothers, Mu'taz and Muntasir, in the Al-Shafa area of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of the city.
3.- Her parents had left Gaza for medical treatment before October 7, 2023. Marwa was left in the care of her two brothers.
4.-On July 5, the Israeli Occupation Forces launched an attack on the population of eastern Gaza City. The bombing of a neighboring house caused Marwa's house to collapse, trapping her and her brothers under the rubble.
5.- A few days later, signals were received from Marwa's phone. Despite calls from United Nations journalists, the Red Cross, and the international community, the Israeli army prevented rescue teams from accessing the area. It is believed that Marwa may have been alive under the rubble for 20 days.
6.- When the occupying army left the area 45 days later, the remains of the three siblings were found. Marwa is one of 239 journalists killed by Israel to date.
