    Born and raised in the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, Izzeldin Abuelaish is a Palestinian doctor who worked in Israeli hospitals as an obstetrician and gynecologist specializing in infertility. In January 2009, three of his daughters and a niece were killed by Israel Defense Forces at his home in Gaza. Dr. Abuelaish’s heartbreaking response to the incident was captured live on Israeli television and broadcast across the country and beyond. Despite his tragic loss, Dr. Abuelaish—a Nobel Peace Prize nominee—has become an inspiring advocate for peace for people of many faiths. As a monument to the lives of his daughters, he created Daughters for Life, a foundation dedicated to providing education and health services to women and girls throughout the Middle East.
