Twenty-seven-year-old Aya Aghabi passed away on Monday after having a cardiac arrest and going into a coma, leaving Jordan’s people with disability (PWD) bereft of a national hero who fought for their rights through her online platform “Accessible Jordan.”
 
The United Nations Jordan, the World Health Organization Jordan, and other Twitter users mourned the death of Aghabi with heartfelt words.

 Zeina Shahzada tweeted saying: “Absolutely heartbroken to hear that Accessible Jordan founder, Aya Aghabi, has passed away. A gentle soul and a real life hero, she has, so passionately and selflessly done so much for people with disabilities in #Jordan.”
