Original Social Media Post

"The image of Dr. Hussam Abu Saffiyah, wearing his white medical overcoat, symbol of hope and humanity, summoned and walking towards Israeli tanks embodying death and destruction, will remain forever a reflection of what is at stake in Gaza: Humanity itself. It will show a people standing up, against all odds, in the face of terrible suffering, trauma and death. And it will show how lonely they were in that moment. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya stated a few weeks before this ultimate assault on the Kamal Adwan hospital: “I refused to leave the hospital and sacrifice my patients, so the army punished me by killing my son. I saw him die at the entrance gate — it was a great shock. I found a grave for him near one of the hospital’s walls, so that he could stay close to me.” Dr. Abu Saffiya was himself injured. And now he has been abducted, detained, his fate unknown. He refused to leave the victims behind. Can’t we display some degree of that same courage?" - Source
