About Noora

Noora Afif Abdulhameed was injured Oct. 23, 2006, in Heet, Iraq, when a U.S. sniper fired from a rooftop toward the family's car. The bullet destroyed tissue on the left side of Noora's head and her forehead, ruptured her cerebral membrane, and shattered part of her skull.

No More Victims, a nonprofit organization that brings war-injured Iraqi children to the United States for medical treatment brought the six-year-old and her father, Afif Abdulhameed Otaiwi to Portland in July.

For updates or to donate money for her care, or the care of other wounded Iraqi children go to No More Victims.
