Sevda Önder is a physiotherapist and founding member of Health Workers for Palestine. She has worked across the NHS, private practice, and global health projects, bringing a commitment to empathy and community care. Alongside colleagues, she defends the right to health for all and has spoken out against the destruction of healthcare systems and the targeting of health professionals in Gaza.

 

Physiotherapy is the bridge between trauma and dignity. As Israel destroys Gaza’s chance to heal, medics must renew their pledge to Gaza, says Sevda Önder.
