Nabeel Khair, 62, a well-known Palestinian doctor, died in the Italian town of Cagliari on April 8 due to the Covid-19 disease caused by the Coronavirus.\n<\/p>\n

Nabeel was one of the first doctors to take his place at the frontline in the fight against the deadly disease. Early March, Khair was tested positive for the novel Coronavirus.\n<\/p>\n

The Palestinian doctor was well-known in the Palestine community because of his active work within the organization Ponti non Muri, which aims at creating a \u201cbridge between Sardinia and Palestine through universal languages such as music, culture, and sports\u201d.\n<\/p>\n

Thanks to the work of the organization, many Palestinian delegations, mostly of women athletes, came to Italy to participate in various sports events.\n<\/p>\n

Doctor Khair arrived in Tonara in February, \u201cafter a very long struggle by the community to have health care assistance,\u201d the mayor of the town told Unione Sarda newspaper.\n<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Ponti non Muri organization wrote on Facebook:\n<\/p>\n

\u201cOur friend Nabeel is gone. But the memory of his deep voice, his enthusiasm, his laughter, and his smile will stay with us forever; especially, we will not forget his proud and teary eyes whenever he spoke about his homeland, Palestine. We are sad and speechless now, but we will keep our promise, dear brother Nabeel: every single day, we will never stop talking about Palestine, about a free Palestine.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
