NEW YORK: A Pakistani award-winning female major of the UN Peacekeeping Force who is unable to return home from the Democratic Republic of Congo due to the COVID-19, determined to fight against the epidemic despite her daughter waiting for her return since April 6.
Major Samia Rehman’s story was highlighted by the UN’s peacekeeping Twitter account. “My duty was ending on 6 April, but I’m unable to go home due to COVID-19”.
“My two-year-old is asking, ‘Mama, when will you be back?’ I’m worried, but my passion for work has increased manifolds. Together we can slow the spread,” Major Samia was quoted by the UN peacekeeping account.
