Alexandria Palm Sunday bombing, one year on – lone dad who lost his wife, uncle and nephew

On Palm Sunday 2017, Magid was selling palm branches with his wife and son by the gate of St Mark’s Cathedral in Alexandria, Egypt, when a suicide bomber detonated his device near them, killing Magid’s wife, Hannan.

Eight worshippers, four Muslim police officers and four Muslim passers-by were killed, and 35 others injured.

Recently, World Watch Monitor visited Magid and his children, eight-year-old Youssef and six-year-old Maryam, and heard about their life after Hannan’s death.
