(4/4) Abed succumbed to shrapnel injuries sustained from Israeli airstrikes while standing with his @msf.ca colleagues, in MSF vests, waiting to head to work. In his memory, please read his words 👇🏼 describing his passion: overcoming obstacles to provide rehabilitative care to patients in Gaza.

(3/4) Abed innovated with remarkable ingenuity--he worked with tailors & logisticians to create custom compression suits for burn patients. He modified walkers for patients injured & amputated in the madness of this genocide. He was the vision behind our 3D physiotherapy dept #Gaza.

(2/4) In the man-made dystopian reality of #Gaza, our colleagues find creative ways to still provide treatment, despite #Israeli blockades, lack of fuel, electricity, water, and essentially all the building blocks you need to make a health system work.

💔 (1/4) We've lost a juggernaut in @msf.ca. Abed El Hamid Qaradaya was a powerhouse with deep expertise in physiotherapy & occupational therapy.

Clearly identifiable aid workers are being killed. Clearly identifiable red lines are being crossed. An entire population is clearly, systematically being dehumanized, erased, starved & besieged.

❗It's time for clearly identifiable, undisputable, concrete, bold, action from world leaders. ❗

He was at a bus stop, in an MSF vest, waiting to head to our field hospital in #Gaza. 4 MSF colleagues were injured in the attack, all clearly identifiable as medical humanitarian workers. One of our staff is in critical condition with shrapnel wounds.

💔 This is Omar Hayek. He was a kind man, the sole provider for his family, & one who brought the highest level of professionalism to his work as an occupational therapist for @msf.ca.

This morning, Omar became our 14th colleague killed in an #Israeli attack.

🚨 MSF FORCED TO SUSPEND ACTIVITIES IN GAZA CITY 🚨

Our clinics are now encircled by Israeli forces.

There are continued airstrikes & tanks advancing closer & closer to our healthcare facilities.

This is an intolerable level of risk for our @msf.ca staff.

I am outraged, and you should be, too.

🍁 I stood alongside inspired & mobilized Canadians on Parliament Hill for #Gaza. We held pictures that were reminders of the human cost of #Israel’s campaign of genocide.

🩺@msf.ca doctors can treat the wounded, but we cannot stop genocide. That responsibility lies with world leaders.

My colleague Hussein was a dedicated nurse and father. Yesterday, he died of injuries from an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.

Our thoughts are with Hussein’s wife and young children.

His killing isn't a tragic accident, it's unacceptable proof that no one is safe from genocide.

📣Recognition is not enough. Of genocide, of statehood. Palestinians need justice. The recent UN report is an important, brutal indictment. But the time for talk is over.

We need action from world leaders, including Canada. Sign the @msf.ca petition & demand accountability. ✊
