Abdelkader grew up in Aleppo in Syria and moved to Lebanon in 2013 to work as a blacksmith. On August 4, 2020, he got off work to organize a little celebration for his son’s birthday. On his way home, the blast was heard, and a metal board fell on his back in the Karantina area, causing multiple fractures in his chest and subsequently an internal hemorrhage. Abdelkader passed away two hours later leaving behind a wife and four kids.
