Khalil Suleiman

Khalil Suleiman (1943/194414 March 2002) was a Palestinian doctor in Jenin in the West Bank. He was head of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society Emergency Medical Service (effectively the ambulance service) in Jenin.

He was killed and two other medical personnel seriously injured when an ambulance was hit by a rifle-mounted grenade fired by the Israeli Defence Forces.

The International Red Cross and the European Union have both complained about this attack.

The hospital in Jenin is now named after him, the Martyr Doctor Khalil Suleiman Hospital. His brothers son was named Khalil after his heroic uncle. He was loved by many, and certainly very missed.
