Karate champion forced to flee Gaza

After winning a competition in Gaza, Mais Elbostami became the first Palestinian karate champion.
Her goal is to compete in international karate tournaments, but the recent Israeli military offensive forced her to flee Gaza with her family.
The Israeli offensive has left 38,000 Palestinians dead, and many have begun fleeing Gaza to escape the threat of Israeli bombing.

Mais Elbostami makes the Palestinian national team with the help of a coach

Mais Elbostami, who was stuck in Gaza, was lucky enough to get into the Egyptian national team with the help of the Palestinian national team coach,
and she continues to practice in hopes of winning the next championship. Her next competition will be the Egyptian national championship in August,
and so far, Palestinian players have performed poorly against Egyptian players, so many people think that Palestine will lose.
Nevertheless, Mais Elbostami is determined to win for her country and raise the Palestinian flag.
