Saeda Hamdona

  • Gaza Strip

Saeda Hamdona majored in English language studies and graduated from the Faculty of Arts at the Islamic University of Gaza. Before the war she taught English and planned pain-relieving activities for children in hospitals. She is married with one child, Zakaria.

Due to the suspension of education in Gaza since the start of the conflict, her husband, Ahmed, has been unable to continue his career as a math teacher in a public school.
