Work details
Plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Member of the British Royal Colleage of Surgeons for plastic surgery. He is a former winner of the Royal College of Surgeons of England’s Humanitarian Innovation Fellowship for his work on gunshot wounds in Gaza. He held a research fellowship in Canada.
He was a father to three children. He had been working at al-Shifa Hospital for 40 consecutive days when the siege started and he and his mother were killed by an occupation sniper. He worked alongside plastic surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah during the Great March of Return protests, the 2021 aggression, and the genocide. Dr. Ghassan remarked: "He spent this war going from Shifa hospital to Al Quds Hospital and when he was free he would join me at Al Ahli. Always dedicated, always wanting to learn. He refused to leave the north and kept sending me photos of his surgeries. He leaves behind a wife and baby."
