Moharram has said of her work: "I'm seeing the same thing I used to watch on TV when the famine unfolded in Somali. I never thought I would see this in Yemen." Moharram has worked for numerous international aid organisations, but since 2015 has worked independently, deliverng medicine and food in her car, serving as a mobile clinic.[1]
