Palestinian doctor risks her life to save wounded man
A video circulating on social media shows a female doctor braving Israeli sniper fire to save an injured man in front of the gate of Nasser Medical Complex in the city of Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip. Dr Amira al-Assouli ran with her back bent from the inner gate of the complex to the outside to rescue a young man who was hit by an Israeli sniper’s bullet and remained bleeding while lying on the ground.
Al-Assouli was on a trip in Egypt but returned to the Gaza Strip on October 7 to perform her humanitarian duty. According to Anadolu Agency, the doctor has continued working at the hospital despite being displaced from her home, which was destroyed by the Israeli army in the town of Abasan, east of Khan Younis.
