The assassination of the orthopedic doctor Saeed Joda this morning while he was on his way to perform his medical duty by an enemy aircraft.
The doctor who spent more than a year bandaging the wounds of the injured and saying goodbye to the victims from among his family and neighbors, the doctor was injured more than once and continued his work moving from one hospital to another and from the home of the injured to the shelters, then he covered the eyes of his nephew Muhammad with his hand and prayed over him, and after a few days he was unable to cover the eyes of his son Majd who was killed by a treacherous bombardment a week ago while recovering the bodies of his cousins, and here are the doctor's eyes covered today for the sake of God and the homeland.
This obituary is unparalleled. Medicine in the Gaza Strip and its north has lost one of its icons, the camp has lost its compassionate and skilled doctor, and we in the Joda family have lost a scholar in medicine, ethics and sacrifice, it is time for us to be proud of him and to grieve deeply.
May God have mercy on the deceased, and inspire his family, loved ones and those who follow in his footsteps with patience and solace.
