EXCLUSIVE: Gaza’s only Paralympian has a message for the world | Edge of Sports

Fadi Deeb is the only member of the Palestinian Olympic delegation from Gaza, and he is the only Paralympian athlete from Palestine to compete in the 2024 Summer Games. While he has experienced great personal tragedy due to Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza, Deeb has come to the Paris Olympic Games to represent the people and the indomitable spirit of Palestine, and to send a message to the world: “Nothing can stop us... Palestine is not dying, we are still here.” In this exclusive interview, recorded from Paris, TRNN's Dave Zirin speaks with Deeb about the importance of sports in Gaza and what it means for him to represent Palestine in this year's Olympics.
