Luna Solomon
Eritrean sport-shooter
Luna Solomon (born 1994) is an Eritrean sport shooter who now lives in Switzerland after fleeing Eritrea. She competed at both the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2024 Summer Olympics as part of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Refugee Olympic Team.
Early life
Solomon was born in 1994. She has eight siblings. In December 2014, she fled Eritrea due to conflict and human rights abuses. Solomon did not tell her family that she planned to leave; she traveled with several neighbors and had no passport. The group crossed the Libyan Desert, which was a difficult journey that took ten days and during which there was very little to eat or drink, and Solomon said that "a lot of people died on the way". She then crossed the Mediterranean Sea to Italy in a small boat. Her father died after she arrived in Europe, and Solomon became depressed and regretted leaving Eritrea and her family.
She arrived in Switzerland in 2015.
