Filled with apprehension about crossing the front line, Sally Becker was determined to risk her life to save children. For over three decades, she has been a humanitarian aid worker, dedicated to helping the victims of war. Her journey began in May 1993 when she traveled to Bosnia to deliver humanitarian aid. Soon recognized as the 'Angel of Mostar,' she rescued wounded children and their families from the besieged city, saving countless lives throughout the conflict. When President Milosevic's troops invaded Kosovo, she continued her missions, often on foot across treacherous mountains. Despite being captured by Serb paramilitaries and shot at by masked gunmen in Northern Albania, her resolve remained unshaken. Bosnia marked the beginning of her lifelong commitment to rescue children affected by horrific wars, leading her to Iraq, Ukraine, and most recently Gaza. Her account offers invaluable insight into the complexities of international aid work and the harsh realities faced on the front lines, highlighting the desperate race to save innocent children trapped in war zones. This extraordinary story showcases how one person's determination and compassion can change lives amidst the chaos of conflict.
