UN Official Shares Syrian Refugee’s Harrowing Survival Story 🌊📖

UN Under-Secretary-General Melissa Fleming has spotlighted one of the most gripping tales of human resilience with the Chinese edition of ‘A Hope More Powerful than the Sea’. The book recounts the true story of Doaa Al Zamel, a Syrian refugee who survived four days adrift at sea after a shipwreck claimed 500 lives – including her fiancé – during her escape from conflict.

💔 In a heart-stopping account, Doaa clung to life while protecting two infants handed to her by drowning strangers. ‘This isn’t fiction – it’s history unfolding,’ Fleming emphasized, underscoring the urgency of global refugee crises.

📚 The story was shared via PAGE X, a UN-backed initiative where thought leaders discuss impactful literature. Fleming’s retelling aims to reignite empathy and awareness among younger generations, blending raw storytelling with calls for solidarity.

🌍 ‘Doaa’s courage reminds us that hope can outlast even the darkest tides,’ Fleming said, urging readers to engage with stories that bridge cultures and amplify marginalized voices.
