And he made the climb without the use of a ladder or being aided, as seen in photos that have gone viral.
The 30-year-old Palestinian would watch over the 73-year-old Hajjah Rasmiya Al-Suwaiti and return home when he is certain she had fallen asleep.
Jihad who is the youngest child of the woman told Arabic Post that he couldn't come to terms with the thought that his mum would be all alone in her critical moment and had to improvise.
He said:
“I sat helplessly behind the outside window of the intensive care room, watching her last moments."
Unfortunately, after days of receiving treatment, his mother, Hajjah Rasmiya eventually passed on.
