- Asep Haryono | Dr. Marwan al‑Sultan, a Director of Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital along with his wife were killed by Israel Airstrike on Wednesday, July 2, 2025. - Powered by Blogger
As an Indonesian, my heart is heavy with grief today.
News has broken that Dr. Marwan al-Sultan, the Director of the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza, has been killed alongside his wife and family in an Israeli airstrike on July 2nd. The apartment where he lived was reduced to rubble. The man who helped save thousands of lives has now lost his own in a cruel and senseless act of violence.
Let that sink in for a moment.
This isn’t just another name in the news. Dr. Marwan was the head of a hospital that bears our country’s name a symbol of Indonesian generosity, unity, and commitment to humanity. The Indonesian Hospital in Gaza is one of the few functioning medical centers in the war-torn strip, and for years, it has stood as a beacon of hope. Built with the contributions of Indonesian people and organizations, it is deeply tied to our nation's spirit of solidarity.
To hear that its director was killed in his home while his family was by his side is absolutely heartbreaking.
And I have to say this clearly:
I condemn this brutal act by Israel.
How can a country that claims self-defense justify the murder of doctors, nurses, and civilians in their own homes? What threat did Dr. Marwan pose? What danger did his wife and children represent?
Gaza has been under siege for months, and while headlines often focus on political figures or military strikes, we forget about the real people the doctors, the children, the teachers, the journalists who are living, suffering, and dying through all of this.
This is personal for us Indonesians. We have always stood beside the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom and dignity. Our founding principles, Pancasila, call for justice, humanity, and independence for all. When an attack like this happens, it is not just a strike on Gaza it feels like an attack on something we, as a nation, helped build.
To the people of Gaza: We are with you. To the family of Dr. Marwan al-Sultan: We grieve with you. And to the government of Israel: You now have a problem with the people of Indonesia.
We will not be silent.
Let this tragedy strengthen our resolve to speak louder, act bolder, and support justice wherever it is being denied. From Jakarta to Jayapura, our hearts are with Gaza. From the mosques of Aceh to the cafes of Surabaya, we cry out: This is not okay.
Rest in peace, Dr. Marwan.
You were a hero in life and remain a symbol of hope in death.
