Restoring Hope: Gaya Zubery’s Journey of Recovery
On December 7, amidst intense fighting in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood, Gaya Zubery, a paramedic for the 53rd Battalion, responded to a tank hit by an explosive. Despite the chaos and danger, she and her medical team rushed to the scene to provide aid to the injured soldiers. Tragically, the explosion claimed the lives of two tank soldiers, but Gaya’s commitment to her duty remained unwavering.
