Only Palestinian At Paralympic Games Recalls Life In Gaza: All His Memories Have Been Destroyed

Fadi Aldeeb was the only Paralympian in the Palestinian delegation in Paris. But he bowed out early at the games. Aldeeb feels he bears special responsibility to represent all Palestinians living in Gaza, the West Bank and elsewhere. He tries not to think about his own situation.

The 40-year-old Aldeeb, who uses a wheelchair, was the Palestinian flag bearer during the Games’ opening ceremony, two days before he placed last in the men’s shot put for seated athletes with a season best throw of 8.81 meters.
