I spoke with Gaza refugees Omar Skaik and Farah Kamal at Western Washington University about life since the ceasefire.

Myself and my Gaza refugee friends Omar Skaik and Farah Kamal were invited to speak to students and community members via video feed at the World Issue Forum at Fairhaven College on the Western Washington University campus on January 28th, 2026. This is a video of the one hour and twenty minute class. (The video officially starts at 6:00.) You can donate to Omar’s and Farah’s fundraiser’s via the links below.
