In this profoundly moving episode of our podcast, we are privileged to introduce Dr. Ahmed Abdeen, a dedicated young doctor with aspirations of specializing in neurosurgery. Ahmed's remarkable journey unfolds against the backdrop of Gaza, a place that has shaped his ambitions, his challenges, and his unwavering commitment to his community.

He speaks of his aspirations for his people and his homeland, reflecting on the resilience and solidarity that define Gaza's spirit. Despite the barriers to his own professional journey, his commitment to healing and helping his community in Gaza remains unwavering.
