Hadeel Awad is a Palestinian nurse who graduated from Al-Azhar University. Since graduation, she aspired to work in Al-Shifa Medical Complex and in 2022, she started working as a volunteer in the emergency department.
“This is not the first war I have experienced while working,” she said, “but it is a different war. Since the beginning of my work and before as well, I have loved helping patients, but due to the many wars on Gaza, I began helping the wounded before and during the war as well.”
After being besieged for 40 days inside Al-Shifa Hospital while the Israeli army surrounded it, she reunited with her family in South Gaza, where they are now staying in a tent in Rafah. She has established a small medical clinic in the camp to help Palestinian refugees obtain medical assistance. “Now I aspire to make people’s voices heard through my writings and blogs.”
