Nur, a 16-year-old Syrian girl, died at Israel's Sheba Medical Center after battling a rare and aggressive form of jaw cancer. She arrived in Israel through the 'Shevet Achim' humanitarian project, just weeks after a massacre of Druze in Sweida. Despite experimental treatment, the disease returned, and Nur passed away. During her treatment, she became like family to the medical staff. Before her death, she expressed a desire to see the sea in Tel Aviv, and the hospital arranged a beach day for her and other patients. Nur's family asked that she be buried in Israel, in a Druze village, as a sign of gratitude. Lawyer Raed Shanan and Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif commented on the event. The article also describes the project, through which dozens of Druze children from Syria received treatment in Israel, including cases of children with heart defects and urological issues.
