After about a week of war on the Gaza Strip, Doctor Medhat Saidam spent all his days in the hospital treating the wounded. He decided to return to his family to spend some time with them and check on them, but death was waiting for him and all his family members, after the Israeli bombing targeted their house, which is located near the hospital.
Saidam works as a plastic and burns surgeon, and according to his colleague, doctor Ahmed Makhlalati, he has been in service for 25 years, witnessed most of the previous wars and escalations in the Gaza Strip, and was dedicated to his work.
Makhlalati says that Saidam was always in the hospital throughout the wars, and on the day of his martyrdom they stopped the restoration and burns room, so he asked permission to go to his house to see his family after he had been away from them for a week, and he decided to spend the night with them, so the house was bombed and they were all martyred.
Makhalalati spoke about his deceased colleague’s positive spirit at work, and his constant support for them in the plastic surgery and burns department, where he represented 50% of the department’s capacity, considering his departure to represent a loss of great value to the staff and Al-Shifa Hospital as a whole.
Mukhallati considered the targeting of doctors in the war on the Gaza Strip to be a systematic and deliberate act by the Israeli occupation forces, and it is ongoing and usual in all wars. Therefore, he believes that Doctor Medhat was not the first and will not be the last, pointing out that at least 10 doctors were targeted during this war. the war.
