Aseel Al-Balaawi was a student at the Al-Azhar College of Pharmacy in Gaza City before she was displaced and the university campus was destroyed. She’s currently displaced in Rafah with her family, which has consistently encouraged her to write about the Palestinian plight. Aseel has received academic honors from the Amideast Centre and the Genius Mind Program. A naturally curious person, she finds inspiration in the discovery of new places and things.
