Palestine Food Blogger Hamada Shaqoura Featured on TIME100 Next 2024 List – Startup Pakistan

Hamada Shaqoura, a 33-year-old marketing professional who became a wartime food blogger, has reached an important milestone by being named on the TIME100 Next 2024 list.

After having to leave his job due to the collapse of Gaza’s markets from constant bombing and displacement, Shaqoura has become a strong voice for his community. His impactful social media videos demonstrate his commitment to preparing and distributing meals to children in Gaza’s refugee camps, using limited supplies from humanitarian aid.

With a serious tone, he shares the harsh realities of life in Gaza, contrasting them with the joy on children’s faces when they receive his meals. This recognition not only highlights his humanitarian work but also brings attention to the critical food poverty crisis affecting the youth in Gaza.
