The Palestinian girl whose parents named her Kurdistan.

A Palestinian girl whose parents named her Kurdistan in a gesture of love and gratitude towards the Kurdish people has celebrated her first birthday.

Her father, Mohammed Khalid, previously explained to the media that the name reflects his family’s appreciation for the Kurdish people and their support for the people of Gaza through humanitarian aid campaigns and the provision of food and essential supplies.

He said the name carries deep meaning and serves as a lasting reminder of the solidarity shown by the Kurdish people during some of the most difficult circumstances faced by Palestinians. He added that naming his daughter Kurdistan was the least his family could do to express their gratitude.

Meanwhile, Palestinian economist Mohammed Abu Jiab said donations, humanitarian assistance, charitable campaigns and support from Kurdish organisations had made a significant difference to the lives of thousands of Palestinian families, particularly through food supplies, financial assistance and sponsorship for orphans.

Kurdistan celebrated her first birthday on Monday, 9 November 2026, with her name once again highlighting the longstanding human ties between the Kurdish and Palestinian peoples. For her family, it will remain a lasting symbol of solidarity and gratitude, carried throughout the life of a Palestinian child.
