Fadi Deeb represents Palestine as a shot putter in the 2024 Paralympics and is the only member of Palestine’s Olympic delegation from Gaza. He describes being shot by an Israeli sniper in 2001, which caused his disability; losing many family members in the current Israeli assault on Gaza; and why he feels a great responsibility in representing Palestinians on the world stage. “I want to raise my country flag here in Paris and to show the people we are still here, we’re still alive — we have hopes, we have dreams, we have goals,” he says. The Paralympic Games begin in Paris on August 28.
