Fatma Hassona, the Palestinian Protagonist of Cannes-Bound ‘Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk,’ Killed in Israeli Missile Strike


Palestinian Protagonist of Cannes-bound ‘Put Your Soul on Your Hand’ and Walk’ by Sepideh Farsi is killed in a missile strike with her family.

“I got to know her through a Palestinian friend in Cairo, while I was desperately searching for a way to reach Gaza, seeking the answer to a question both simple and complex. “I, who could still feel the distant echo of the explosion’s shockwaves ringing in my ears (…) wanted to know how the Gazans resisted all this, what they were going through… I could not find the answer in the news and media. I know that Fatem will no longer answer, that I will never see her brothers again, nor her sister Alaa, a painter who was six months pregnant, nor her father, a taxi driver who was stuck at home since the beginning of the Israeli offensive.
