Dr. Mohamed Mahmoud Amin Shahin
Age 83 years old
Martyr DateDecember 21, 2023
“The oldest pharmacist in Gaza, who dedicated his life to work in the first pharmacy in Gaza.”
The pharmacist, Dr. Mohamed Mahmoud Amin Shahin (Abu Safwat), 83 years old.
Dr. Mohamed lived with dignity and passed away with honor, always known for his elegant appearance - as depicted in the pictures - with his long white hair and green eyes.
He lived through the catastrophe of 1948 and was displaced from his village, Al-Qubeiba. Refusing to be displaced again, he was determined to stay in his homeland and was buried next to his house in the city of Gaza.
On December 21, 2023, he was targeted and martyred by Israeli aircraft while walking safely in his neighborhood. This tragic event came after the killing of his martyr son, Safwat, who was attacked by Israel at his workplace four years ago. The loss of his son Safwat had a significant impact on his health.
