Fund, which was founded in 1991 in Palestine while he was working as a journalist and met

many injured kids in need of medical care they could not get in their occupied country. Since it’s

founding, the PCRF has become the main NGO in the world sending sent thousands of

international volunteers to provide free medical care for tens of thousands of sick and injured

Arab children in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq who could otherwise not get the

care that they needed locally. PCRF also arranges free surgery outside of the Middle East for

over one thousand injured Arab children, regardless of their nationality, race or religion.

In 2013, the PCRF opened the first pediatric cancer department in Palestine in the name and

honor of Huda.

In 2016, Steve remarried Dr. Zeean Salman, an American-Sudanese pediatric oncologist.

They have one daughter, Layla-Fawzyah.
