When Dr. Salama Al Sahli, a pediatrician, joined the UAE mission to Al Arish, her primary goal was to surround herself with wounded children and alleviate their suffering. However, the 15-hour mission turned into a personal connection with the kids, going beyond medical assistance.

Dr. Salama shared her experience, highlighting an encounter with a girl who had burns on her face. By showing the girl her makeup kit, Dr. Salama managed to make her smile. Reflecting on the mission, she expressed how it exceeded her expectations, making her a better physician, mother, and human.

Commitment to Helping Amid Conflict

Dr. Khalid Al Sawwy, an anesthetist who led the group of volunteers to Al Arish, emphasized his commitment to helping Palestinian children amid the ongoing conflict.
