Kamel Jawad was killed October 1 while volunteering in his hometown of Nabatieh, said his family.
Michigan’s Lebanese-American community is mourning after one of their own was killed in an Israeli air attack in Lebanon.
A large crowd of people who knew Kamel Jawad, a 56-year-old father of four, attended his funeral ceremony on Sunday at the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan in the US.
Jawad, a Lebanese-American remembered by locals for his generosity, had been killed on October 1 while volunteering in his hometown of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, according to his family.
“In his last days, he chose to stay near the main hospital in Nabatieh to help the elderly, disabled, injured, and those who simply couldn’t financially afford to flee,” said Jawad’s daughter Nadine in a statement.
“His response to political conflict was always simple: ‘I stand with the oppressed’.”
