Dr. Marwan Sultan was taking a rare break from work to be home with his family Wednesday when, at 2:15 p.m., he became a grim statistic: the 70th health care worker to be killed by Israeli fire in the past 50 days, according to a Palestinian monitoring group.
Soon after at Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, an NBC News crew witnessed grieving family members and colleagues surround the body of Sultan, a renowned cardiologist, who was killed along with his wife, daughter, son-in-law and sister.
In the morgue, hospital workers wiped blood off Sultan's ashen and scratched face as his body lay wrapped in a smeared white sheet. Visitors embraced and kissed him, their wails reverberating around the room, according to the video.
TVNL Comment: Rest in peace, Dr. Sultan and family. The monsters who killed you will pay the price. If not now, soon. The world is waking up to this horror.
