at 3:01 PM - CFAV awarded medal by King for aid work in Gaza
Major
Christine Hunter, a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer for the Lincolnshire Army
Cadet Force (ACF), recently received an award from King Charles for her
life-saving work in Gaza. Last year, Major Hunter travelled to Gaza twice as
a volunteer nurse, with UK-Med to deliver frontline aid, which earned her
the Humanitarian Medal in recognition of her bravery and selflessness in a
humanitarian crisis.
The volunteer, who is in her 70s, said: "I've got a
lot of skills that I don't always feel I'm utilising when I'm working here.
I went out because I know I can handle those situations and help people who
probably need it more than those in this country."
Major Hunter, who
currently works as a Theatre Nurse, previously served with the Queen
Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps for 32 years, which took her to
locations such as Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
