Palestinian journalist and writer Mohammed Mhawish reports with courage and humanity under extraordinary conditions. A contributing writer for The Nation and The New Yorker, his work has appeared in Al Jazeera, +972 Magazine, The Economist, and MSNBC. After a targeted attack on his home killed members of his family, he fled Gaza and continues to report in exile — documenting overlooked realities and honoring colleagues lost to war. Recent honors include the Izzy Award, an Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association Award, and a Type Media Center Fellowship (2025).
