Dr. David Hasan is the founder and CEO of the Gaza Children’s Village. Dr Hasan is a Palestinian Paediatric Neurosurgeon and since October 7, he has devoted himself to delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza and fostering hope between Palestinians and Israelis. Dr. Hasan was among the first surgeons to enter Gaza after the onset of the conflict, completing two medical missions since then. His efforts have facilitated the delivery of millions of dollars’ worth of medications, food, surgical equipment, dialysis units, neonatal incubators, salaries for Gaza’s neurosurgeons and other essential resources.

Dr. Hasan also established the only coalition of international NGOs—including Palestinian, Israeli, American and European organizations—dedicated to addressing Gaza’s humanitarian needs. He currently leads a multi-governmental initiative to build the Gaza Children’s Village, which will provide shelter, education and healthcare for 20,000 orphans, unaccompanied minors and children with complex medical needs. The village will feature housing, a school with a peace-oriented curriculum, the first dedicated children’s field hospital, a rehabilitation center and recreational spaces.

Additionally, Dr. Hasan co-founded Lumflies, a platform designed to foster collaboration and hope between Palestinians and Israelis, working toward a brighter future.
