In Memorial
Awad Darawshe
As part of the Next October commemoration initiative, Nurami Medical honors the memory of Awad Darawshe, a courageous paramedic who was murdered while saving lives at the Nova Festival on October 7, 2023.Awad Darawshe, only 23 years old, was part of the medical team providing emergency care at the Nova Festival. When instructed to evacuate for his own safety, he chose to stay, continuing to treat the wounded and save lives amid the chaos. During the indiscriminate shooting carried out by Hamas, Awad was fatally shot while fulfilling his life-saving mission. For over three years, Awad volunteered with Nazareth United Hatzala, an Israeli emergency medical service. He was known for his compassion, dedication, and willingness to help anyone in need, regardless of background. We are inspired by Awad’s courage, compassion, and dedication to helping others. His actions remind us why advancing medical innovation matters, and we honor his memory by continuing our work to improve and save lives.
