Obada Abu Oda

Writer's picture: Adi Ronen ArgovAdi Ronen Argov

Obada Abu Oda, 14 years old, was here, and not anymore. A resident of Al Shati refugee camp. Participated in the Hands Up project, and wrote a poem that is currently on display in an exhibition in England:



I always dream of a life clear as the serenity of the sky,

And a heart beating with love and optimism...

Why our smiles do not bloom like the flowers?!

Let us fly freely as those butterflies...

Satisfied, colourful and flapping sky-high,

away from worries, anxieties and sorrows.



Killed in a bombing, October 25, 2023.
