A Gaza pediatric specialist, Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, faced an unimaginable tragedy as an Israeli air strike destroyed her home while she was treating conflict victims at al-Tahrir Hospital. Nine of her 10 children, all under 12, were killed in the attack. Her husband and one child survived with injuries.
🚨 ‘The blast shook everything,’ said Ali al-Najjar, the doctor’s brother-in-law, who rushed to the scene only to find rubble where the family’s home once stood. The strike occurred amid escalating violence in the region, with hospitals like Nasser Medical Complex overwhelmed by casualties.
