Daughter of Dr Adnan al-Bursh mourns father killed in Israeli custody

Ellen, the daughter of Palestinian surgeon Adnan al-Bursh, expresses her longing for her father, who used to bring her everything, following his killing in Israeli custody.
Dr Adnan al-Bursh, 50, was reportedly killed by torture while in Israeli custody on 19 April. He served as the head of orthopaedics at al-Shifa hospital, where he worked for several weeks during the Israeli war on Gaza.
Later, he moved to al-Awda hospital in the Jabalia refugee camp, where he was detained along with 10 others last December.

Palestinian people is different. They are amazing and God bless this little girl.

[@mrsBainbridge]

Yes, the sadness in her eyes is different. It's the sadness of an old soul, resigning that things don't always go the way she wanted. Makes you think that she has witnessed way too many calamities, which made her grow much too soon.
