Palestinian Students Face Fear and Insecurity After Burlington Shooting

Hisham Awartani, a college student who was critically injured in the Burlington shooting last month, is set to leave the hospital and begin long-term rehabilitation for his spinal cord injury. While he may never walk again, Awartani remains optimistic about his prognosis and is eager to put in the hard work required for recovery. Over $1.1 million has been raised through a GoFundMe campaign to support his medical treatment and adaptive measures. His friends, Kinnan Abdalhamid and Tahseen Ali Ahmed, who were also injured in the shooting, are expected to make full recoveries.
