Amidst tear-gas and live bullets Razan Al-Najjar infiltrates into the crowds wearing her white robe to provide them with the necessary treatment after inhaling the toxic gases fired at them by the Israeli military.
Razan Al-Najjar a 20-year-old volunteer bravely advances amongst the demonstrators at the eastern border of Khan Younis province in the southern Gaza Strip to provide treatment for the wounded.
Al-Najjar is a field volunteer from the Ministry of Health who along with a number of her colleagues provide first aid for young people who take part in the Great March of Return (GMR) near Khuza’a to the east of Khan Younis since the beginning of the GMR.
Yet the bullets of the Israeli soldiers ended her volunteer work. She was shot dead by an Israeli sniper in eastern Khan Younis.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qedra said that “Palestine today bids farewell to the martyr of humanitarian work Razan Ashraf al-Najjar who did not leave her work during the Great March of Return until she was shot dead to the east of Khan Younis.”
As soon as young men carry one of the wounded al-Najjar accompanied by her colleagues used to rush to give him first aid before being transferred by ambulance to the nearest hospital.
During her work al-Najjar repeatedly suffered from the effects of teargas due to the intense firing of teargas canisters by the Israeli army.
In a previous interview with the PIC al-Najjar said that she chose this mission because she cherishes serving people “who clash with the occupation soldiers”.
She pointed out that she volunteered to help and provide aid to the victims of the Israeli shooting at participants in the Great March of Return called for by the Supreme National Committee for Return and Breaking the Siege.
Al-Najjar persisted in serving her people using the very simple potentials she had along with her volunteer friends until her martyrdom.
