Meet Gaza's blind girl who memorised the Holy Quran, Arabic grammar books amidst Israeli bombings

A 15-year-old blind girl from Gaza, named Saja Khalla, is the source of motivation for many as she memorised the Holy Quran and several other Arabic grammar books amid the relentless Israeli bombings in the war-torn region.

Her impressive list of accomplishments includes Alfiyyah Ibn Malik, At-Tatbiq an-Nahwi, the Seven Poetic Hanging Poems, the Forty Nawawi Poems, Al-Ajurrumiyya, and Al-Shatibiyyah.

Saja completed her remarkable achievement of memorising the sacred book in 2019.

Recently, Palestinian journalist Mousa Salem shared a video of her on his Instagram account, inspiring countless others with her talent.

Unfortunately, Saja's accomplishments are set against the backdrop of the devastating war on the Gaza Strip.

Since October 7, 2023, Israeli military offensives have resulted in over 41,000 Palestinian lives lost, including 16,456 children and 11,000 women. 

The bombings have also left almost 95,497 people injured and the United Nations reported that two-thirds of buildings across the Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed.

The United Nations (UN) reported that two-thirds of buildings across the Gaza Strip have been "damaged or destroyed." Israeli attacks have also killed at least 270 aid workers.

The restrictions on food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies have exacerbated the situation in Gaza.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) directed Israel to ensure basic services and humanitarian aid delivery in the besieged enclave.

The Palestinian government's information office reported that almost 1.7 million Gazans have been displaced due to relentless air and artillery strikes by the Israeli military.

Thousands of children in Gaza have been diagnosed with malnutrition, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Earlier, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) head Cindy McCain said people in Gaza are starving to death.

The WFP estimated that around 1.1 million people are "struggling with catastrophic hunger and starvation" due to Israel's severe restrictions on food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies to the besieged enclave.
