Cemetery visit in a wheelchair
Majdi Abdu Rabbuh, who was injured in his feet as a result of Israeli attacks, visited his son-in-law’s grave in his wheelchair.
Abdu Rabbuh expressed his deep sorrow for the loss of his son-in-law and expressed his wishes for an end to Israel’s brutal attacks against innocent people in the Gaza Strip.
“I visit the grave of my daughter’s husband on Eid al-Adha and pray. He was martyred while treating an injured young man.” Abdu Rabbuh said:
“We were living in the Cibaliya Refugee Camp in the north of the Gaza Strip, but we moved to Deir al-Belah because our house was destroyed in the attacks. Israeli attacks did not stop, I was also injured and many members of my family were martyred.
The atmosphere of the holiday this year is completely different from previous holidays, there is neither joy nor pleasure. “People living in the Gaza Strip do not feel the joy of Eid as they did before the attacks, because everyone in Gaza lost their loved ones or their homes.”
Abdu Rabbuh added that sadness and pain dominate every home in the Gaza Strip.
The number of people killed in Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7 increased by 41 in the last 24 hours, reaching 37 thousand 337.
