去年被以色列殺害的 12 歲女孩。
多妮亞的家在轟炸中受傷，家人喪生，雙腿被截肢，目前正在納賽爾醫院接受治療。在她康復期間，以色列又轟炸了醫院，導致她死亡。
「砲彈穿透天花板，直接擊中了她。」半島電視台引述南部城市汗尤尼斯納賽爾醫院的穆罕默德·扎庫特醫生的話說。
在她英年早逝前，接受半島電視台採訪時，她說：“我希望成為一名醫生，幫助人們。現在，我的生活發生了改變。他們走了。沒有他們，我現在孤身一人。我與這段人生息息相關，因為我與去世的母親、父親和兄弟姐妹有著深厚的聯繫。但即使我永遠不會忘記他們，我也必須繼續下去。”
雖然多尼亞永遠沒有機會實現成為醫生的夢想，但我們希望我們微薄的資助能夠鼓勵世界各地的藝術家記住她的故事並追求自己的夢想。
