About Nassim
I first met Hadeel in April of this year when I was visiting Cairo from New York and delivering aid to families who had recently evacuated. Her husband had reached out to make sure that his wife and kids who had evacuated Gaza had what they needed after escaping with nothing but their lives. Hadeel is a brilliant, kind and creative person, the young mother of three children who is struggling to survive on her own. She was a physical therapist at Al-Shifa hospital before it was completely destroyed by the occupation, killing so many of her friends and colleagues.
Hadeel is an incredible writer, an amazing mother and above all a survivor. Her and her family passed through the Rafah crossing before it was closed.
