Fleeing her country in 2015 during the Syrian civil war with her sister, Olympic swimmer Yusra Mardini, they swam and pulled their boat, with other refugees aboard, towards the Mediterranean coast of Greece, saving themselves and the other passengers. Continuing their journey across the Balkans, they reached Berlin, Germany, the same year. She was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2023, alongside her sister.
