London: A Palestinian karate champion, Nagham Abu Samrah, has succumbed to injuries sustained in an Israeli missile strike last month.
The 24-year-old, who had been in a coma, passed away at Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir Al-Balah, Gaza.
Despite losing a leg in the December 17 attack that also claimed her sister’s life, Nagham was unable to be evacuated to Egypt due to denied permission.

Her death occurred on the 100th day of hostilities between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, which began when the Palestinian militant group launched an attack on Israel on October 7.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been casualties in the conflict. Nagham Abu Samrah’s father, Marwan Abdullah Abu Samrah, expressed profound grief, stating that Nagham was his life and spirit.
He shared that Nagham’s dream of inspiring girls in karate was shattered by the missile strike, leaving only the dream for her father to hear her voice.
