About the Platform

The platform "Documenting the Targeting and Destruction of the Health Sector in the Gaza Strip" presents accurate and detailed information about the Israeli assault on health during the genocidal war. This includes data on the attacks on healthcare facilities and health workers who have been killed, abducted, tortured, and maimed by Israeli forces during the genocide, and relevant statements by international organizations and healthcare institutions. These are complemented by original analysis by researchers and authors covering a range of issues in the targeting of the health sector, through which Israeli occupation forces have created a "war biosphere". Read more

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.
