A dress belonging to Shaheeda Khadra Abu Salame, from the '100 Shaheed - 100 Lives' Exhibition, February 2001

Taken by photographer Isabel de la Cruz, this photograph shows a dress belonging to Shaheeda (Martyr) Khadra Abu Salame who was martyred on September 29, 2000, during the clashes leading to the eruption of the second Intifada (Al-Aqsa Intifada). On that day, Khadra was on her way to pray in Al-Aqsa mosque, with the eruption of the clashes, she inhaled much gas and was martyred. This item was displayed at the "100 Shaheed - 100 Lives" exhibition held at the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah on February 20, 2001. The idea of the exhibition emerged weeks after the eruption of the Second Intifada (Al-Aqsa Intifada) as a tribute to all those murdered in the struggle. However, as the number of Shaheeds was exponentially increasing, the exhibition was limited to honoring the first 100 Shaheeds representing all areas of Historic Palestine.
