Mohamed Kayed Hussein was the 23rd out of 28 construction workers (to date) to be killed in construction accidents since the beginning of 2017. On Wednesday, the 23rd of August, Mohamed fell from the third floor in the construction site he worked. He was only 27 years old, and a Palestinian resident of the village of Biddya. He left behind a year old baby, a young widow in the late stages of pregnancy, and parents and siblings which mourned their beloved.
In the Hebrew "Haaretz" article, his tragic death has been written about in detail. "The love of the construction workers has ended, since they aren't Jewish. Nearly nobody is prosecuted for their deaths, which almost always is a result of employer negligence, which also is a result of the workers' ethnicity. This grief has no flags and no memorial posters - Hussein wasn't a martyr nor a hero. Even still, in his town everybody knew he was killed, and its residents knew to point us to his house this week."
May he rest in peace.
