Gaza's Fadi Aldeeb sparks 'inclusion revolution' as lone Palestinian Paralympian
The 2024 Paris Paralympics is a place of strength and accessibility. In addition to fostering important conversations of inclusion, it is important for the world to see Para athletes showcasing their sporting pursuits at the highest level.
It's also vital to know the stories of the Para athletes, to listen and learn the ways in which the wider sport community can better support disabled athletes.
During the stunning opening ceremony at the Place de la Concorde, International Paralympic Committee president Andrew Parsons said he hoped Paris would mark the start of an "inclusion revolution."
One of the Paralympians leading his own revolution is 39-year-old Fadi Aldeeb, a shot putter from Gaza. Aldeeb is the only member of the Paralympic team from Palestine in Paris.
