Palestinian cuisine offers hope to Gaza refugees in Mexico
The number of Palestinians residing in Mexico increased to about 160 people following the outbreak of the Gaza war in 2023, including Engineer Mohammed Abed, who fled the Gaza Strip with his family seeking asylum. Abed, who left Gaza after a long and complicated journey through Jordan and Turkey, obtained permanent residence in Mexico City in May 2025. He makes a living selling Palestinian foods such as hummus, falafel, and shawarma, and hopes to reunite with more of his family members, including his sisters. Abed’s experience remains deeply connected to the war, as the sounds of aircraft remind him of tragic memories, but he aspires to a peaceful life and works to promote Palestinian identity through his projects and efforts.
