Gaza -  A young man has died after setting himself on fire in the Gaza Strip, apparently in protest at economic hardship in the Palestinian enclave, the family and police said on Monday.



Ehab Abu Nada, 18, left his home on Thursday after an argument with his father, who had urged him to find work to help feed his poor family.

Frustrated in his job hunt, Abu Nada doused himself in petrol and set himself alight inside Gaza’s main Shifa hospital.

His neighbours suggested he might have chosen to immolate himself at the hospital because he had wanted to make a gesture rather than kill himself, but medics there could not save him.

He was pronounced dead on Sunday.

Quote
“He left to seek work and he did not come back. My heart was shattered,” his weeping father told a local radio station.

“We live in a miserable condition. We live in a rented house and I hardly can afford the rent,’’ he added.


A police official from the Islamist Hamas movement, which rules Gaza, said an investigation was under way to dtermine the motive of Abu Nada’s death, as he cited unemployment as the possible motive.

Only him knew what he had pass through, But no matter anything killing himself is not the best option, If Nigerians are taking the option of killing their selves in a situation like his own, Then Nigeria would have been a desert by now.
