Nidal Muhammad’s Story – An eldest daughter’s quest

15 December 2024

Imagine your mother is critically ill, and, as the eldest daughter in the family, it is your responsibility to find treatment for her in a war zone in North Darfur State. With her father busy working to keep the family going, it was up to Nidal to make the dangerous trek to Cairo, Egypt. Sadly, only two days after arriving in Egypt, Nidal’s mother passed away.

Now Nidal had to return to a warzone in El Fasher, North Darfur State, to take care of her siblings and support her father. It was here; shrapnel entered her back and arms. With so many patients in critical condition at Saudi Hospital in El Fahser, she must endure the pain without treatment. Before the war, Nidal was a university student; now she and her family live day to day, praying for a peaceful future.
