Israeli forces shot and killed Dr. Saeed Joudeh, the sole surviving orthopedic specialist in Northern Gaza, when they attacked an ambulance he was traveling in to transfer medical supplies to Al-Awda Hospital in Jabaliya.

The hospital has been under siege for 70 days, according to Cradle, resulting in the death of 1,057 Palestinian healthcare workers since Oct. 7, 2023.

Dr. Joudeh was injured by shrapnel last month during an Israeli drone strike at Kamal Adwan Hospital, and held a press conference begging for international forces to intervene and stop the incessant killing in Gaza.

Last week, Dr. Joudeh’s 24-year-old son was killed while rescuing family members trapped under the rubble from an Israeli strike on a shelter, and in November, Israeli forces killed his nephew.

      ah man. That poor kid. If any Israeli had to suffer through even half of what they put her through… They’d make an internaional moment of silence about it and a snappy slogan like “Never Again” or “All Children are Innocent”.
