His book The History of the Arab Press in Palestine was published in Amman in 1966. He was the editor-in-chief of one of the Palestinian newspapers in Jaffa, Al-Rai Al-Aam, since its founding in Jaffa in 1946, and he continued to issue it even after the Nakba. He moved to Beirut as a refugee and there he continued to issue it, and in late 1949 He moved to Jordan and lived in Jerusalem and continued publishing them until a decision was issued to cancel the franchise of a number of newspapers and magazines, and public opinion was among them, so they ceased publication.

After the 1948 Nakba, al-Akkad and his family (his wife and three daughters) fled to Jordan, where he was paralyzed in 1960, and remained so until his death. He lived in the Yarmouk camp in Damascus, where he died in 1977 and was buried in the Dahdah cemetery.
