Muna was born in 1998 in Sheikh Jarrah. From a young age, she and her family experienced harassment and threats of eviction by Israeli authorities.
In 2009, Israeli settlers took over half of her familys house, "under an Israeli law that allows Jews to reclaim ownership of property lost in 1948. No such law entitles Palestinians to do the same in West Jerusalem or other parts of Israel."
As of 2021, her family is facing the Israeli court's decision which will evict them from the second half of her home, along with 11 other families. They were given 30 days to leave the home, but the lawyer of the family filed an appeal with the district court.
In 2021 Palestinian rights activists Muna and Mohammed El-Kurd, have been named to TIME magazine’s annual list of the 100 most-influential people in the world.
