Well the world had decided that Israel has carte blanche to commit war crimes so he should be glad that he at least didn't have kids, cuz they be bombed into pieces too.
He does have kids!
Mr El-Estal said he had "lost everything" but is hoping his two young children can join him in Dublin.
"I want to take them out, I want word from the government. They are Irish," he told Irish broadcaster RTÉ on Friday.
His children, aged one and four, remain in Gaza with their grandparents, he said.
both of Khalid's children were buried in rubble.
Really hope they make it. Hope everyone makes it.
He does have kids, it says in the article.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A man who grew up in Belfast has returned to Ireland after his wife and other family members were killed in Gaza.
Khalid El-Estal, 30, said he had been working in Saudi Arabia while his family remained in the Palestinian territory.
Mr El-Estal was born in Belfast and attended primary school in the Botanic area while his father worked as a lecturer at Queen's University.
When he was aged eight, the family relocated to Gaza, where Khalid met his wife, Ashwak Jendia, at university.
As violence in the region escalated last week, Mr El-Estal explained he urged his wife to move south and stay with his relatives, while he contacted Irish officials to seek help.
Ashwak was taken to hospital, eventually dying from her injuries, which included 60% burns to her body," he detailed.
