CAIRO – 12 April 2025: The Egyptian Medical Syndicate has mourned the killing of Egyptian physician Mahmoud Abu Amsha, 27, who was martyred in the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces while providing medical care to injured Palestinians amid the ongoing war on the besieged enclave.
Since the start of the Israeli assault on October 7, 2023, Dr. Abu Amsha had been moving between hospitals across Gaza—from north to south—performing surgeries and treating the wounded in overcrowded corridors, the Syndicate said in a statement released Friday.
Dr. Abu Amsha had volunteered to treat the victims of the war, the Syndicate added, extending its deepest condolences to his family and colleagues in the medical field.
The Egyptian Medical Syndicate emphasized that what is happening in Gaza constitutes more than a military operation—it is a crime against humanity being carried out in full view of the international community. The targeting of doctors and medical personnel, it said, is part of a broader pattern of violations occurring amid global silence.
'We condemn this shameful silence, which serves to legitimize the crimes of the occupation. We call for immediate action to lift the siege, protect civilians, and hold those responsible accountable. The blood of Dr. Mahmoud Abu Amsha, and all martyrs of humanity, will remain a testament to this global inaction,' the statement concluded.
