Archivist Notes On This Video

The video contains some inaccuracies:

  • the children shown at 0:13 to 0:15 are not from the Shabat family. They're from the Afana family and were killed the same day early morning in Beit Hanoun.
  • Ella was the couple's daughter, not Dr Jamal's sister.

Tribute & eulogy to Dr. Dina Ashour by Dr.Hosam hammouda

"With deep sorrow and grief, I bid farewell today to my dear colleague and friend, Dr. Dima Ashour, her husband Dr. Mohammed, and their family, who tragically lost their lives. Dima was a true embodiment of humanity and commitment, aspiring to become a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, and she continued working in northern Gaza despite the extreme dangers to save innocent lives. In our last encounter, we worked together to help a family who had been waiting for twins for over 22 years. After the successful procedure, the twins’ father expressed his profound gratitude. It was a moment of joy and deep humanity. Today, as I say goodbye to her, I remember her noble efforts. May God grant them all peace and a place in His vast gardens, and may their souls rest in tranquility"
