Huwaida is a dedicated professional employed by Oxfam's partner CFTA. She was compelled to evacuate Gaza when Israeli warplanes distributed leaflets telling residents in the North and Central areas to seek refuge in the South.
Within the charity where she is employed, she assumed a leadership role, overseeing a group of over 300 individuals.
