The Palestinian Ministry of Culture mourned the visual artist Fathi Ghaben, who died today, Sunday, in the Gaza Strip, at the age of 77, after suffering from illness. He was born in the village of Harbia in the northern Gaza Strip in 1947.
His mother carried him during the Nakba and was forcibly displaced to Gaza, where he lived his life in Jabalia camp. He became professional in art early, and dedicated his life to it. He immortalized the life of the Palestinian village that the Nakban wanted to erase.
