Azeez Al-Shaair, an NFL star, paid a touching tribute to Wafaa Akila, an 8-year-old girl, and her father, who were martyred in an airstrike targeting their car on her first day of school. He wrote her name on his eye black strips as he met with children and families on the field. Al-Shaair has continuously honoured those suffering in Gaza in similar ways, repeatedly turning his eye black into a form of protest, despite the fines he receives from the NFL.
