Dr. Mohammad, a proud alumnus of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College in Bangladesh
In a heart-wrenching tragedy that has resonated across borders, Dr. Mohammad, a mother and child specialist and former student of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College, was martyred in Gaza during a brutal airstrike by Israeli forces. The attack occurred while he was in the midst of prayer at a local mosque, where he sought brief solace between his tireless shifts saving lives.
Eyewitnesses reported that Dr. Mohammad’s body was tragically dismembered in the bombing, a horrific end to the life of a man who had dedicated himself to healing others. He had been working around the clock at Al-Shifa Hospital and other emergency medical centres in Gaza, offering critical care to mothers and newborns amidst one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history.
Dr. Mohammad, a proud alumnus of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College in Bangladesh, had joined a humanitarian mission in Palestine several years ago. His deep sense of duty and compassion led him to remain in Gaza even as the bombardments intensified. He often turned down opportunities to leave, insisting that his patients needed him more than ever.
Dr. Mohammad's story is a grim reminder of the countless healthcare workers who risk—and often lose—their lives in conflict zones while upholding their Hippocratic Oath. According to international health organizations, more than 300 medical personnel have been killed in Gaza since the onset of the recent escalations.
