Under the patronage of the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Yarmouk University, the Faculty held an exceptional event on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, entitled “Jordanian Heroes on the Ground – A Witness from Gaza Hospital.” The event was supervised by Dr. Maryam Al-Amari and organized by the student team PharmaCure, and featured two remarkable figures in humanitarian and medical work: Dr. Bilal Al-Azzam and Dr. Mohammad Al-Dardour, both members of the Jordanian medical delegation who served at the Jordanian Field Hospital in Gaza during the recent aggression.
The auditorium was filled with students, administrative staff, and faculty members who listened attentively and were deeply moved by the field stories shared by the two guests. Their words powerfully conveyed the real suffering endured by the people of Gaza and shed light on the heroic role played by Jordanian doctors.
Among the most heart-wrenching stories was that of nine-year-old Ghazal, who was shot and left paralyzed. She innocently told the doctor, “In one week, I’ll turn ten. If you help me walk again, I’ll throw a party and bring you a gift.” Another was the story of a child pulled from beneath the rubble with severe injuries that required both arms to be amputated. With heartbreaking innocence, he asked the doctor, “Will my hands grow back?”
Reflecting on what gave him strength during such a difficult mission, Dr. Mohammad Al-Dardour said:
"Whenever I saw a martyr, an injured person, or grieving family member, I would remind myself: ‘Indeed, his reward is with Allah.’”
The two doctors affirmed that Gaza taught them this nation may fall ill, but it does not die. They stressed that today’s battle is a battle of awareness and media, and emphasized the importance of supporting the cause through prayer, boycotting, spreading awareness, and reconnecting with the true sources of strength in the Muslim world.
The audience left the event with hearts heavy with emotion, minds awakened with understanding, and eyes filled with tears. Many students expressed their deep gratitude for this initiative, which brought to them a vivid image from the heart of the crisis, affirming that “the message has been received” and that it is now their duty to be the voice for the voiceless.
“We haven’t forgotten them, and we’re still talking about them,” was the phrase most echoed after the event, affirming that Gaza remains alive in the hearts of Jordanians and that the message carried by the “Jordanian Heroes” on the ground will not be forgotten.
