No More Victims Now Working with Coalition Groups to Evacuate Children From Gaza for Care

In early January 2024, No More Victims initiated a project in Greenville, South Carolina to help evacuate children from Gaza to the United States and arrange for pro-bono medical care. NMV’s director presented a case to a community group in Greenville and contacted orthopedic specialists at Shriners Hospital. Ayham arrived in Greenville in March, and is receiving treatment. Jood, who was originally slated for treatment in Greenville, arrived in Chicago and is receiving treatment at Shriners Hospital. 

This established a continuity of care for war-injured children from the Middle East spanning almost 20 years. The same specialists from Greenville treated two children from Iraq who were injured in an airstrike. No More Victims brought Salee Allawe and Rusul Jalal to Greenville for surgical and prosthetics treatment in 2007 and 2009. Salee, who lost both legs in the airstrike, returned multiple times for prosthetic refittings as she grew up.
