“My name is Abdelkareem Alsalqawi. I’m 32 years old. I was born in Gaza, in Deir al-Balah city. Deir al-Balah is a small city by the beach in the middle of the Gaza Strip, famous for its palm trees. I’m not married. I live with my parents, my sister, and two of my married brothers in the same house in Deir al-Balah. As a doctor, I was working until recently in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, where I had been doing 24-hour shifts every two days since the beginning of this war on October 7, 2023. But four or five months ago I started working at Nasser Medical Complex in the city of Khan Younis, to continue my orthopedic residency. At Nasser, I also work a 24-hour shift every two days.” (08/11/25)
