Battling stage-four lung cancer, he chose to serve his people in Gaza rather than retreat into treatment. Born to a Palestinian refugee family displaced from Acre in the 1948 Nakba, he grew up in Lebanon listening to his father\u2019s stories about the homes and fields they lost. \u201cThose stories helped me imagine how life used to be,\u201d he once said, \u201cand made me long to go there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"1060\">His Lebanese mother carried that memory in her own way. Joking in a TV interview, he recalled: \u201cMy grandmother prayed for my father to become a doctor. He was afraid of blood, so the mission fell to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1494\">In 1996, Badran left for Turkey to study medicine, then moved to the UK in 2004 to specialize in anesthesiology. He worked for years in British hospitals, most recently as a consultant anesthesiologist at St. George\u2019s Hospital in London. In 2023, he was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer\u2014but didn\u2019t let that stop him.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1730\">After hearing that the humanitarian group Rahma Worldwide needed an anesthesiologist in Gaza, he volunteered, despite the objections of his wife and family. \u201cIf you die, your kids will be orphans,\u201d his wife told him.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1730\">He replied:\u201cIf everyone thinks that way, no one will go.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7802\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7802\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7802 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/A-British-doctor-1024x740.jpg\" alt=\"A British doctor, suffering mainly from cancer, went to Gaza to help its people\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/A-British-doctor-1024x740.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/A-British-doctor-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/A-British-doctor-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/A-British-doctor-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/A-British-doctor-450x325.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/A-British-doctor.jpg 1105w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7802\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A British doctor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1913\">In March 2024, he traveled to Gaza. Amid the rubble of Gaza City\u2019s Al-Shifa Medical Complex, he bore witness to genocide. He said:\u201cGaza is a legend. If dignity had a face, it would be the people of Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1992\" data-end=\"2169\">Badran wasn\u2019t just a doctor\u2014he was a donor and an advocate. He helped financially support Gaza and participated in a relief campaign led by the Palestinian Forum in Britain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1992\" data-end=\"2169\">Dr. Hadi Badran wasn\u2019t merely a medical professional. He was a refugee who understood what it means to be born without a homeland, to live in exile, and to die with memory as your only possession. He chose to walk toward death with those who shared his struggle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2171\" data-end=\"2639\">He passed away on May 23, 2025, in Britain and was buried there. On that same day, the bodies of children were still being pulled from the rubble in Gaza. The doctor died, but the wound remains open.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17620\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17620\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17620 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/8888.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Hadi Badran: A Palestinian Refugee Who Defied Cancer to Heal Gaza\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/8888.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/8888-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/8888-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli war crimes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"2641\" data-end=\"2909\">Praised as a model of noble medical service and human devotion, Badran\u2019s journey was described as one of dedication and selflessness.
