"His death ruined our whole lives and badly affected us," he lamented.
Reacting to his older brother, Haytham said "my dad has gone to the heaven."
Mohammed, a 31-year-old man who is a cousin of Abdulelah and Haytham, was accompanying his uncle Ahmed on that day to the funeral hall.
"I went with my uncle Ahmed to mourn al-Ruwayshan's family in this hall," Mohammed recalled as rising his prosthesis left arm pointing to the funeral hall five meters away in front of the commemoration tent.
"We arrived early at noon and shooke hands with the family members of al-Ruwayshan," Mohammed recalled. "After a while, we were about to leave the hall ... at the gate, we heard the big screaming sound of a jet and then a bombing with big pressure... shrapnel ... fire ... intensified black smoke ... everything turned upside down," he remembered.
"I stood again and found my hand and arm on the ground ... Everyone was screaming and crying ... My uncle was lying on a pool of blood ... He shouted to me ... go go run to the hospital and save your life," Mohammed recalled.
"I picked up my hand and arm while blood flooded from my right side and ran.. After I was a few steps from the hall, a second strike hit the tent," Mohammed, who is now wearing his new fitted prosthesis that replaced his missing left arm and hand in the strike, told Xinhua.
Mohammed was among over 500 others who were lucky enough to survive the two airstrikes that claimed the lives of 140 others on the spot after the funeral of one man became a slaughter of many.
