Based on the information currently available to us, the young family was killed on Sunday, November 5, during an Israeli airstrike in the Al Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City at the residence of Hani\u2019s in-laws. The family had recently sought safety there after fleeing airstrikes in their own neighborhood of Al Shiekh in Gaza City. His in-laws were killed as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/globalcommunities.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Hani-Jnena_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50386\" style=\"width:254px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Hani Jnena<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In his final message to the People &#038; Culture representative in our West Bank office on October 10, Hani wrote: \u201cMy daughters are terrified, and I am trying to keep them calm, but this bombing is terrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hani was a dedicated member of our IT team in Gaza, known for his kindness and commitment to delivering essential IT services in challenging conditions. He, along with his wife and daughters, were beloved members of our community. This loss is profoundly felt by our teams, particularly in Gaza and the West Bank, where Hani\u2019s contributions and warm nature were especially valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHani was extremely loved by all staff,\u201d said a close colleague and friend, who, for safety reasons, will remain unnamed. \u201cHe constantly supported the whole team with all requests with a smile on his face. Hani\u2019s affability and serenity is amongst his most endless list of merits. I loved working with Hani and having him on the Gaza team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the face of unfathomable danger, destruction and loss, our staff who remain on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank have been delivering lifesaving support to their communities. For their sake, and for the hundreds of thousands who are trapped in this humanitarian catastrophe, we must do more than bear witness. We must make way for aid, healing and peace while there is still time. Global Communities, alongside hundreds of humanitarian organizations across the globe, urges all parties to the conflict to agree to an immediate and complete ceasefire to prevent further loss of innocent lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Global Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Global Communities works at the intersection of humanitarian assistance, sustainable development and financial inclusion to save lives, advance\u00a0equity and secure strong futures.
