Dr. Ahmad's life ended as he was working when the occupation airforce struck the third and fourth floors of al-Awda hospital and he was martyred alongside his colleagues Dr. Ziad al-Tatari and Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila. Other members of the medical team sustained severe injuries, including Doctors Without Borders staff. His passing weighed heavily on those who knew him and were touched by his humanity in his work. The Qatari minister for intenrational cooperation Lolwah Al-Khater mourned him saying: "You spoke to me of your dreams, your passion for medicine, and that the violence of the Israeli occupation will only strengthen your resolve."
