Doha, Qatar: As Qatar once again united Arab nations in Doha during the FIFA Arab Cup 2025, strong messages of solidarity with the Palestinian people were on display across the capital.

For years, Qatar has spared no effort in supporting Palestinians, ranging from mediation initiatives and humanitarian aid to the directive of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to provide medical treatment in Qatar for wounded Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

The Peninsula spoke with two wounded Palestinians currently receiving medical care in Qatar, who shared their journeys from war-torn Gaza to Doha and reflected on the care and compassion they have experienced.

Sahar, a Palestinian woman who sustained serious injuries to her legs and back during the war in Gaza, told The Peninsula that Qatar “made every effort to take care of us.” She explained that after her injury, she waited for nearly two and a half months before arrangements were made for her transfer to Egypt, where she underwent surgery and remained for another two months and half before being moved to Doha.
