Everyone whom I know is aware of Du’aa’s passion for cooking. I spend long hours in the kitchen. I record all my culinary achievements. I like to share the delicious dishes I prepare with others.
I spent five years in Egypt learning and improving my cooking skills. I did many experiments in this field so that when I return to Gaza I can surprise everyone with my creativity.
Unfortunately, the war broke out. My dreams were shattered, and instead of sharing what I had accomplished with my friends, I was shocked by this sudden turning point in my life.
Once upon a time, I was a doctor who prepared the most exquisite and flavorful dishes. Nowadays, I am nobody but a displaced person living on canned food.
Alhamdulillah, (thank God) for everything.
