Bombing of his workplace and his martyrdom

Submitted by saraalymani4 on

Dr. Basel Mahdi and Dr. Ra'ed Mahdi were martyred as a result of a strike on their maternity hospital in Gaza City, to which they had been displaced with their families. Both doctors had been working from the beginning of the war until the day they were martyred. Those who were besieged in the hospital, including the two doctors and their family, had been pleading to be evacuated for several days.
