IN MEMORY OF DR. MUATH
Dr. Muath Talat Abo Rokba, the heroic and loving veterinarian, husband, and father, has been murdered by the Israeli military.
On October 10, 2025, Dr. Muath returned to his home in Jabalia after the “ceasefire” with Israel took effect. Israel had published a map showing which areas were safe. Dr. Muath and his family consulted the map and their home was in the “safe” area. They decided to make the journey to retrieve belongings and assess damage. Unfortunately, the safe zones were a lie. They were ambushed by the Israeli army. Muath’s brother and uncle barely escaped; they lost contact with Muath in the gunfire. On Sunday, October 19, Muath was confirmed dead.

Dr. Muath had important goals for the global veterinary community. He wanted international teams of veterinarians to go into Gaza, and he wanted a global veterinary organization unlike anything we currently have. These texts show some broad strokes of his ideas and also give insight into his life.
