In Gaza, a long path to recovery for one woman who lost eye, and daughter
- Nuseirat, Gaza Strip – When Najwa Abu Atiwi opened her eyes on October 11, 2024, after weeks in a coma, her first thought was not the extent of her injuries, but her desire to see herself.
- She knew that something significant had changed, but she did not understand how much her appearance had been altered after the Israeli air strike that hit her home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat camp.
- Najwa, now 42 years old, repeatedly asked those around her to let her see her face, but they delayed the moment, fearing the shock it would cause.
