Gaza – Ma’an – TRT World website said that Ezz El-Din Lulu, a medical student from Gaza known as the “Smile Maker” for his ability to make people happy with the paintings he draws for them, has created another initiative to help his people.

In a report by writer Pera Ince, he added that Ezz El-Din created a free educational tool to help his fellow medical students continue their education in the midst of the ongoing genocidal war on Gaza since October 7.

According to the website, Ezz El-Din believes that it is now important to have a ‘comprehensive health care system in Gaza’ that responds practically to the emergencies resulting from the ongoing Israeli attacks, with health care workers trained not only as doctors but as leaders who can ‘respond effectively in times of crisis.’

The writer pointed out that Ezz El-Din was driven by his own experience, as his education was halted with the outbreak of war, and he was forced instead to focus on treating and rescuing his family, who were victims of Israeli bomb
ing.

The fifth-year medical student quickly gained a special skill after trying to treat 700 patients at Al-Shifa Hospital.

According to TRT World, what happened one day during the war changed Ezz El-Din’s life forever, and prompted him to think about establishing his own medical education program.

The Turkish website continues that on November 13, Ezz El-Din received a phone call informing him that 20 members of his family, including his father and brother, had been killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the family home on the outskirts of Gaza City.

‘At that moment, the world collapsed on my head,’ says Ezz El-Din, recalling what he describes as the greatest tragedy of his life. ‘I couldn’t believe what they were telling me.’
