Osama sent his family south but refused to evacuate with them, so he can continue working with the Red Crescent to serve his people and country. He spent his final days helping people out of his own pocket. His cousin Mohammed remarked: "This was not strange for Osama – he was a kind person who served others. He loved animals, especially dogs, birds, and chicken." He lost his father at a young age and helped his mother in raising his siblings and supporting them financially and academically.
