Storyline
The nurse Samer Al-Amoudi made comic and satirical videos during the outbreak of Covid to raise public awareness about the virus.
His idea gained great popularity through social media platforms as he created a channel named “Diary of Abu Samir” where he posts sarcastic videos related to social, political, health, and cultural issues.
Al-Amoudi makes these clips based on reality and using his mobile phone. He concludes the videos with a popular phrase that refers to the situation in Gaza.

- (SOUNDBITE) Samer Al-Amoudi – Nurse and comedian:
“Diary of Abu Samir was not planned. I made a video at the beginning of Covid to raise people’s awareness. I didn’t plan to create a page or channel on YouTube. I usually go live on social media to talk spontaneously about Corona, lockdown, the procedures followed, and how to deal with them. I have about 120 thousand followers; 90 thousand of them are women. My channel is accused to talk about women sarcastically, but I only criticize behavior.
- (SOUNDBITE) Abu Muhammad – Follower of Diary of Abu Samir:
“I follow Abu Samir. He gives instructions to the public in a funny way. A person should take care of his health and the health of society from the virus. Abu Samir is a comedian and a nurse in the hospital. He deals with women, children, and the elderly inside the hospital humorously, trying to get them out of their grief resulting from the disease.”
- (SOUNDBITE) Samer Al-Amoudi – Nurse and comedian:
“There are many comments, most of them are positive, but there are negative comments too. When I walk in the street, I receive a good reception from many people. I usually try to relieve people with these videos. My goal and ambition are to reach every home to follow me, if they do not take information, they might laugh.”
