The director of a besieged hospital in northern Gaza, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, tragically lost his 21-year-old son, Ibrahim, to Israeli shelling on the facility. Ibrahim, who aspired to become a doctor, was volunteering at the Kamal Adwan Hospital to help treat the wounded due to a shortage of medical staff.
According to Dr. Abu Safiya, his son was killed at the hospital's entrance while checking if the Israeli army had withdrawn. The hospital has been under siege by the Israeli military, alleging the presence of 'terrorists' in the area. Dr. Abu Safiya was detained and interrogated by the Israel Defense Forces over treating unidentified wounded patients, which he denied.
