ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani on Sunday honored British-Iraqi doctor Mohammed Tahir Abu Rgheef, a renowned “humanity ambassador,” in Baghdad, rewarding him with a diplomatic passport and a housing unit in central Baghdad.
Abu Rgheef, an orthopaedic and peripheral nerve surgeon, volunteered with a non-profit medical charity Fajr Scientific. He gained recognition for his crucial role in providing medical aid to Palestinians during the war on Gaza. Over the course of his missions, he performed more than 300 complex surgeries and treated over 1,200 injured individuals. His most recent mission, which lasted seven months, marked his third trip to Gaza.

He described Abu Rgheef as “a source of pride to all Iraqis,” emphasizing that his efforts “reflect our [Iraqi] people’s solidarity with the brotherly Palestinian people and their rightful cause,” read a statement from the premier’s office.
Sudani also announced the establishment of an "Iraqi Hospital in Gaza" and instructed that Abu Rgheed be awarded a residential unit in central Baghdad, along with a diplomatic passport.
The Iraqi prime minister’s office cited Abu Rgheef as thanking Sudani for this recognition and acknowledging Iraq’s ongoing official and public efforts in support of the people of Gaza.
