A volunteer providing first-aid to the wounded in southern Gaza

Monday 2-April-2018

Amidst Israeli shooting of tear gas and live ammunition Razan Al-Najjar makes her way among the crowds wearing her white gown to provide the necessary treatment for them after inhaling the tear gas.

Razan Al-Najjar a 20-year-old volunteer courageously goes along with the demonstrators on the eastern border of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Al-Najjar volunteered at the Ministry of Health with a number of her colleagues to provide first aid to the young people who are taking part at the Awda (Return) camp in Khuza’a to the east of Khan Younis.

As soon as the young men carry one of the wounded the young woman runs with her colleagues to provide him with first aid before being transferred by an ambulance to the nearest hospital.

During her work Al-Najjar was subjected to suffocation due to the intense tear gas fired by the Israeli army forces.

She said in an interview with the PIC that she chose this work “because I love helping my people who clash with the occupation soldiers in all fields.”

She notes that she volunteered to help provide treatment to the victims of the events of the March of Return organized by the Supreme National Committee of the Great March of Return on Friday.

Al-Najjar serves her people using available means. She seemed eager along with her team to volunteer to deliver their message of solidarity with their people.

After a hard day Al-Najjar sits in the tent that has been allocated for her team to get some rest to help her continue her work in helping the wounded of the Great March of Return.
