Medicide is a strategy aimed at diminishing Palestinian life in Gaza. Lubnah al-Sultan's family, including her respected father Dr Marwan al-Sultan, was killed by an Israeli bomb while sheltering in a so-called safe area. Dr Marwan had shared hopeful visions of rebuilding their lives and the hospital after a potential ceasefire, but those dreams died with him. Another doctor, Dr Musa Hamdan Khafaja, was also killed under similar circumstances while seeking refuge. These events reflect the destructive impact of ongoing violence against civilians in Gaza.
