Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair has continued his ongoing tribute to Palestinian youth affected by the conflict, honoring a young girl from Gaza on his eyeblack for the fifth consecutive week.
Tribute to Maryam Ghanem
During a recent NFL game, Al-Shaair wore eyeblack displaying the name Maryam Ghanem. Maryam is a Palestinian child in Gaza who suffered the trauma of watching her mother burn to death amid ongoing violence in the region.
The gesture marks the fifth straight week that the NFL player has utilized his platform on the field to draw attention to the plight of children in Gaza by featuring their names on his equipment.
