About this person
Shaqoura was recognized with the Time 100 Next list in 2024 and a James Beard Award for Emerging Voice in Broadcast Media in 2025. Business Insider created a short documentary about him, The Man Who Feeds Gaza's Children (2024), which won a News and Documentary Emmy. For several months in 2025, Shaqoura was unable to cook or distribute food due to the Israeli blockade of Gaza and ensuing famine. Time published his essay “I Can No Longer Feed Kids in Gaza”. By the end of the year, he had resumed cooking and posting to social media.
