In Gaza Israel hits the house of a doctor during an air attack: nine of her ten children died

In Gaza Israel continues his air raids, without giving respite to the population already exhausted by an incomprehensible war like all, fierce and cruel as few. The last, atrocious story that comes from a battered territory (despite everyone’s appeals, including the heartfelt one of Pope Leo XIV) is that of Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar and her family, who remained decimated by yet another air attack.

To tell the tragedy is the CNN, which collects the story of a woman who leaves her home in a neighborhood of Khan Youunis to go to work in the emergency room of the Nasser Medical Complexin the southern part of Gaza, despite the fact that for some time the hospitals are in difficulty due to lack of means, staff, resources and hopes. Alaa Al-Najjar dresses, goes to the hospital, and that’s where a few hours later they arrive The bodies of seven children, seriously burned by an air attack. Those children, who did not survive (the older one was 12 years old, the smallest only three) were injured when their home was bombed in an air attack. They were the children of Dr. Najjarwho had ten children, and who now has only one, who was seriously injured in the attack, but managed to survive. In addition to the seven arrived in the hospital, in fact, two other children (one of seven months and the other of two years) were trapped under the rubble.

To confirm what happened, Gaza Civil Defense has published A video of the place of the attackwho showed the doctors intent on helping an injured man while other people tried to turn off a fire that was wrapping the house, recovering from the rubble bodies of charred children and wrapping them in white sheets.

Munir al-BarshGeneral Manager of the Palestinian Ministry of Health, said that Dr. Najjar’s husband – survived the attack, but hospitalized in intensive care – had just returned home when her home was hit. “Nine of their children were killed: Yahya, Rakan, Raslan, Gebran, Eve, Rival, Sayden, Luqman and Sidra” Barsh wrote on X. «This is the reality that our medical staff in Gaza has to bear. Words are not enough to describe pain. In Gaza, it is not only the health workers who are targeted: the Israeli aggression goes further, annihilating entire families ».

Ahmad Al-Farra, Nesser Medical Complex doctorhe told CNN that Dr. Najjar continued to work despite the loss of his children, periodically checking the conditions of the husband and the only surviving son, Adam, 11 years old.

In Gaza Israel continues the bombings. And the war goes on, with its hundreds of atrocious stories to which it is always good to give a name and surname, to remember that those dead (Over fifty thousand, according to the data released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, and “a child killed every 40 minutes”) and those wounded (almost 120 thousand, according to the same source) are real. People, men, women and civil children, who have no fault except to be in the wrong place at the wrong time of history.

“The Gaza strip is faced with dramatic health and humanitarian indicators who leave no further time to international organizations and entities to intervene and save the salvable,” said recently in a press release Palestinian Ministry of Healthinviting health and humanitarian institutions, activists and journalists all over the world to commit themselves to save Palestinian children and end the war, protecting and protecting their right to childhood. “We renew the urgent appeal to the free free:” Saving Gaza’s children is not an option, it is our imperative “”.
