Man Climbs Up Hospital Wall And Watches Over His Mom From Outside The Hospital Day And Night Until She Dies Due To Coronavirus
In Palestine, where there are 9,587 confirmed coronavirus cases to this day, a young man named Jihad Al-Suwaiti refused to part with his infected mother.
After his elderly mom was admitted to the hospital for testing positive with the virus, he was not allowed to visit due to safety reasons. But 30-year-old Jihad from Hebron would climb the pipeline and sit outside the hospital window every day to make sure his mother was well and safe.
A hospital official commented: “He spent most of his day there, observing his mother’s condition from outside the window, before coming down when he was convinced that his mother was fast asleep.” Until, last Thursday, his mother Rasma Salama passed away.
The heartbreaking image of the young man watching over his mom fighting the virus was shared by Mohamad Safa and has since spread on social media, touching people around the globe.

Jihad did not give up hope when his mom fell ill with Covid-19 and spent every day by the hospital window watching her fighting the virus
Jihad’s brother Abang Jihad, Rasmi told the media that his brother remained stubborn and despite being banned from entering the hospital due to security reasons, he wouldn’t part with his mother.
“The mother had leukemia and was diagnosed with COVID-19 a few weeks ago,” Abang added.

Being the youngest child of the family, Jihad was very close to his mother. When he found out that his mom had passed away, he felt angry and in disbelief. “But now he seems to be able to accept the statement,” his brother assured.

This is a pure example of devotion. I hope he is able to heal with her passing. While I am sure his mother cringed at the thought of him climbing and risking himself to see her, she also knew how much he loved her until the end

As the mother of a very sweet boy, that I can imagine doing this for me, I am a puddle. Love makes the world go ‘round.

This is so sad. I'm sure that he is relieved that she is no longer suffering. My brother passed away in May due to heart failure. His family was not allowed to visit with him in his last days. I get especially sad knowing that his grandchildren were too young to understand.

My son would do the same thing if he were able. The bond with our children is unbreakable. My sincerest condolences on the loss of his Mother.

It doesn't matter how old you are, your mother will always be your mother, and you will always be her baby. My own dear mother was 90 last birthday, and recently my older brother and I reluctantly made the decision to get her a place in a care home. Due to the current restrictions, we've only been able to visit once - and that was a socially distanced "through a window" visit. I miss her every day.

I think it means “struggle” basically...although it ,sadly, now has a somewhat negative connotation due to extremists. It does not mean war against all non-Muslims as the media would have you believe

"Jihad is an Arabic word which literally means striving or struggling, especially with a praiseworthy aim". I don't think he or his mother care about your approval, to be honest.
