17-year-old Palestinian teen succumbs to cancer while under treatment in Ankara
A 17-year-old Palestinian boy, Abdurrahman Ahmed, passed away in Ankara on Friday after battling cancer.
Abdurrahman was one of many Gazans forced to seek medical treatment in Türkiye after the destruction of Gaza's healthcare infrastructure by Israeli occupation forces.
Abdurrahman was receiving treatment at the Ankara City Hospital but succumbed to his illness.
His funeral was held at the Yahyalar Central Mosque, with a large turnout of Palestinians, representatives of political parties and NGOs, and Turkish citizens.
Following prayers for Palestine, Abdurrahman was laid to rest at the Karşıyaka Cemetery. (ILKHA)
