“A 5-year-old girl, who was hungry during the war, ate this battery. There is no one currently operating an endoscope in Gaza except me. Thank God, I removed the battery from her esophagus with an endoscope. If there was no digestive system, she would have died, because the battery was stuck in her esophagus.”
“This is a picture of the girl from whom he removed the battery that she had swallowed.”
This message was obtained by Tel Aviv Tribune Net from the family of the Omani doctor Khaled Al Shamousi, whose name is the top of the social media platforms in the Arab world. What is his story?

Dr. Khaled began documenting his work treating the people of Gaza, at the European Gaza Hospital in Rafah, and asked a question in one of his blog posts: Why do we come to Gaza? The doctor answered: Because we must provide medical care to Gaza when countries and governments fail and politics ignore the death of children. Then we will come to their rescue.

As the Israeli occupation army began to invade some areas in Rafah, several medical delegations left through the Rafah land crossing, but Doctor Khaled refused to leave and tweeted, saying: “The Jews took control of the Rafah crossing, thank God. We are with the people of Rafah.” Gaza We live with them and die with them (life is their life and death is their death).”

Dr. Khaled published a video hours ago showing the children wrapping around him, and he attached and commented on the video by saying, “When the deadline approaches, a person must be careful about 4 things: the will, frequent remembrance of God, supplication for patience and steadfastness, and good intentions.”
When the deadline approaches, a person must be careful about four things:
– The Will: “It is prescribed for you, when death approaches one of you, if he leaves behind any good, to make a bequest to the parents and to the relatives in a reasonable manner, a duty upon the righteous” (Al-Baqarah: 180-180)

Dr. Al-Shamousi, “the beautiful one,” as the people of Gaza describe him, became an icon of the steadfastness of the people, who have been subjected to a war of extermination for more than 7 months.
The Mufti of the Authority of Oman, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Khalili, congratulated Doctor Khaled, saying, “We congratulate Dr. Khaled Al-Shamousi on his kind initiative in treating and treating those stationed in Gaza, and we ask God Almighty to reward him with goodness for it, and to make him a role model for those who follow his example.”

Blogger Khaled pointed out that Dr. Al-Shamousi could have worked anywhere, for the wage he requested, but he left all that behind him and came to Gaza, wanting, loving, and seeking a better and higher wage.
He added that the doctor came to write his name as a ally of the Almoravids and a savior of the people of Rabat in their ordeal. He did not hesitate to perform surgical operations on the injured in exceptional circumstances, to say the least. He declared his steadfastness in his decision to remain with the people of Gaza in life and in death after hearing the news of the closure of the Rafah crossing. These are the heroes whom Gaza is proud to write the history of their heroism with letters of light in the record of the struggle of its resistance and the steadfastness of its people. Spread about them so that our nation knows its true heroes.
