Handala (Arabic: حنظلة) is a cartoon character created by Palestinian political cartoonist Naji al-Ali - a Palestinian cartoonist and political commentator - in the late 1960s. Handala is depicted as a barefoot, ragged refugee child with his back turned to the viewer, symbolising the Palestinian struggle for independence.
His face is never shown, representing the anonymity and universality of the Palestinian struggle. The character's posture and body language convey a sense of determination and defiance, as if he is ready to face any challenge that comes his way.
