Hadi was one of the faculty’s best students, he was passionate about learning, which he prioritized over anything else. His stepmother, Iman, who raised him like her own, says: “he wanted to have a positive impact in people’s lives. He always helped others. He spent days and nights studying, he had no time for fun or pleasure. He was devoted to his education.”
وكان من أوائل الطلاب في جامعته، لم يُهمل دراسته يوما، كان كل شغفه واهتمامه يتمحور حولها.rd and the 5th, the unthinkable happened. An explosion wreaked havoc through the capital, completely damaging the Lebanese Hospital Geitawi, shattering its windows, destroying furniture and equipment. Shards of glass cut through Hadi’s body, and he was evacuated to Al-Rasoul Al-AAzam Hospital, on the morning of august 5, after his condition dramatically deteriorated, and there was no oxygen available to treat him; He also inhaled the suffocating smoke from the nearby explosion site.
Nine days later, Hadi’s heart stopped beating, mainly as a result to the shock he lived during the blast. He died five days after his twenty first birthday, and before he could realize his dream of becoming a doctor.
