Video of Qamar carrying her injured sister to a hospital and back in central Gaza was shared widely across social media recently.
With Sumaya in need of treatment and unable to walk, Qamar slung her younger sister over her shoulders and carried her to the hospital.
Qamar, 6, carries her injured sister Sumaya, 5, in Gaza on Oct. 21.
But most of all, she said, she wants to see her father again, after the family lost contact with him after fleeing from northern Gaza.
But she expressed pride in her daughter, "who took her sister, who carried her, healed her and brought her back," she said.
