  • Gaza Strip

Sadeq Nawaf Abdul Hafez is from the northern part of the Gaza Strip. He graduated from the Faculty of Engineering at Al-Azhar University in Gaza just two weeks before the war began.

“I dream of becoming a prosthetics engineer and pursuing advanced degrees in this field. However, the war has placed a barrier between me and my aspirations. I missed my scheduled master’s program journey, and a few months ago, I suffered a knee tendon injury that continues to trouble me to this day.”

Current as of January 2025
