‘We try to find life from death’: The volunteer lifesavers of Jenin
Al Jazeera
In West Bank city, 23 young men and women risk their lives on a daily basis to provide first aid to victims of Israeli military raids.
Jenin, occupied West Bank, Palestine – On April 4 last year, Ahmad Nobane was trying to reach an injured person in the Jenin refugee camp to administer first aid.
He had received messages on his mobile phone giving him the location of the victim and driven as far as he possibly could along the city’s narrow, destroyed streets. He had to get out and walk the final 300 metres (1,000ft) to reach the man lying on the ground.
Then he felt the shot.
Nobane, 22, had been hit by an Israeli sniper in the right side of his chest.
Taking cover, he put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding – as he had been trained to do for others.
