Nadeen Ebrahim,

Shireen Abu Akleh was a veteran Palestinian-American journalist who chronicled the suffering of Palestinians under Israeli occupation for tens of millions of Arab viewers. For two and a half decades, she covered the plight of Palestinians as a reporter for Al Jazeera, a channel that became pivotal in television journalism in the Arab world. She covered multiple conflicts in the region, including the Gaza wars of 2008, 2009, 2012, 2014 and 2021 as well as the 2006 war in Lebanon. Abu Akleh was born in Jerusalem in 1971 to Christian Palestinian parents from Bethlehem and had a crippling fear of heights. She obtained her bachelor's degree from Yarmouk University in Jordan and had previously worked at Voice of Palestine Radio, Amman Satellite Channel, the Miftah Foundation, and France's Radio Monte Carlo before joining Al Jazeera. In addition to her journalism career, Abu Akleh also studied architecture at the University of Science and Technology in Jordan.
