In a poignant gesture of gratitude, a Palestinian couple in Gaza has named their newborn daughter "Singapore" to honor the humanitarian aid provided by Love Aid Singapore during the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Born on October 16, 2025, the baby’s name reflects the family’s appreciation for the charity’s efforts, as announced by Love Aid Singapore, led by Singaporean activist Gilbert Goh. The announcement, accompanied by a photo of the birth certificate, has captured global attention, with a viral social media post celebrating the child’s arrival.
The baby’s father, Hamdan Hadad, who worked as a cook at Love Aid Singapore’s Gaza soup kitchen for two years, expressed deep gratitude for the charity’s support. He noted that the soup kitchen’s regular meals were vital for his wife’s nourishment during her pregnancy, helping her endure war-induced famine. “I’m happy, and I want to name her Singapore because I really love them,” Hamdan said while holding his daughter, who weighed 2.7 kg at birth. The name symbolizes hope and resilience amid challenging circumstances.
Love Aid Singapore’s Instagram post on October 18, 2025, shared warm wishes for the newborn, expressing hope that “Baby Singapore” would grow up in a peaceful world with a permanent ceasefire. The post resonated widely, drawing heartfelt comments from around the globe. One user wrote, “May you grow up well, Baby Singapore, and visit us one day. We’ll welcome you with open arms,” while another added, “Dearest Singapore, may you grow, thrive, and dream big dreams.” The viral response underscores the emotional impact of this unique tribute.
