Re: “Seattle Volunteer Will get Out of Gaza” [Nov. 1, Local News]:
What a aid to listen to that Ramona Okumura made it out of Gaza safely! This lady is a real hero for volunteering her time and experience in prosthetics in Gaza. She lectured on this topic on the College of Washington for 27 years.
Whereas most individuals of her age, 71, with wealth and means plan to calm down or journey the world, she selected to volunteer in Gaza to assist folks with limb loss. She was even conscious that she was getting used as a human protect together with her remark: “Pray for the folks of Gaza who now wouldn’t have us as shields from hurt.”
She is an actual hero and must be acknowledged as such.
