I’m honored to receive the Pulitzer Prize today. Great thanks to the prize’s jury and board members for honoring me. I dedicate this success to my family, friends, teachers, and students in Gaza. Blessings to the 31 members of my family who were killed in one air strike in 2023.

Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha has just won a Pulitzer Prize for his writing on Gaza. He says it's a bittersweet moment that he cannot fully celebrate due to the ongoing and intensifying Israeli genocide. "This honor has brought to me tears and joy," he says.

Heartbreaking: This is Yahya Sobeih, a journalist whose wife just delivered a baby. It was just five hours ago and you can see that from his stories. This baby was Yahya’s first child. Israel killed Yahya an hour ago.
