They Killed His Brothers. His Family Kept Feeding Gaza. | Hani Almadhoun | Arab Is Me Podcast

Hani Almadhoun has lost two brothers in Gaza. Yet through unimaginable grief, his family has continued feeding people across Gaza.In this deeply personal episode of Arab Is Me, Said sits down with Hani Almadhoun, Palestinian American humanitarian, Director of Philanthropy at UNRWA USA, and co-founder of the Gaza Soup Kitchen.Hani opens up about the loss of his brothers Majid and Mahmoud, the work his family continues to do on the ground in Gaza, and the impossible reality of helping thousands of people while knowing there are always more people you cannot reach.They also talk about something that too often gets lost behind the headlines: the beauty of Gaza.The beach. The food. The family gatherings. The humor. The ingenuity. The random uncle who shows up. The sounds and smells that immediately take you home. Hani reminds us that Gaza isn't simply a place of destruction or suffering. It is home.Said and Hani also get into the responsibility of humanitarian organizations to be transparent, raising Palestinian children in America, the importance of Arab and Palestinian political engagement, and why our community needs to show up, vote, organize, donate, and tell our own stories.And then we head to Al-Bab, where things get lighter: Ghazawi food debates, Arab dinner etiquette, Abdel Halim vs. Mohammed Assaf, the nonprofit question Hani is tired of hearing, and whether buying someone coffee really counts as paying them back for a steak dinner.This is a conversation about grief, family, service, resilience, and a family that refused to stop feeding Gaza.🎙️ Arab Is Me — Real Arabs.
