Rema Badwan

Rema Badwan is a 39-year-old Palestinian woman diagnosed with advanced breast cancer during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Despite initially noticing a lump three years prior, she delayed seeking medical help due to her husband's disbelief. Since the onset of bombing in October 2023, she has faced significant challenges in accessing necessary chemotherapy, compounded by displacement and the destruction of medical facilities. Rema's plight highlights the struggles of chronic illness patients in war zones, who often become invisible victims amid humanitarian crises.
