    Masa Khader, along with her family, tragically lost her life in an Israeli airstrike on their home in Rafah, Gaza Strip on 21st October. The airstrike claimed the lives of Masa, her 4-year-old sister Lina, and their parents, Loay Khader and Samar al-Atrash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Samia al-Atrash, Masa\u2019s aunt and the woman seen cradling her lifeless body in the heart-wrenching news photo, reached out to an Irish artist named Emmalene Blake after seeing a mural inspired by that very image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The mural, painted by Blake in Dublin, features the Palestinian flag as the child\u2019s death shroud, and it has garnered widespread attention on social media. Samia al-Atrash, still alive and residing in Rafah, expressed her connection to the mural and the heartbreaking loss of her family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
