Gaza doctor grieves her nine children killed in Israeli strike

Israeli regime continues it's slaughter

'The children were completely charred'

Paediatrician Alaa al-Najjar was treating victims of Israeli attacks when her children were killed by an Israeli strike on their home

A Palestinian paediatrician received the charred bodies of seven of her children while on duty after an Israeli strike hit her home in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Dr Alaa al-Najjar, a paediatric specialist at al-Tahrir hospital within the Nasser Medical Complex, was treating victims of ongoing Israeli attacks across the strip on Friday when she was shocked to find her own children and husband brought into the hospital.

The children - the eldest aged 13 and the youngest just six months - were severely burned in the bombing.

Shortly before the strike, Najjar had left for work with her husband, Dr Hamdi al-Najjar, who then returned home.

Not long after, an Israeli bombardment struck their house in the Qizan al-Najjar area in southern Khan Younis, killing nine of their 10 children and wounding the 10th.

Najjar’s husband, who sustained serious injuries, remains in intensive care.

Footage released by the Palestinian Civil Defence showed rescue crews pulling the children’s bodies from the rubble as flames still engulfed the family's home.

Hampered by a lack of proper equipment and the vast scale of destruction, civil defence workers could be heard calling into the rubble, desperately searching for signs of life.

Footage released by the Palestinian Civil Defence showed rescue crews pulling the children’s bodies from the rubble as flames still engulfed the family's home.

Hampered by a lack of proper equipment and the vast scale of destruction, civil defence workers could be heard calling into the rubble, desperately searching for signs of life.

Civil defence teams reported that seven bodies were recovered and transferred to Nasser hospital, where their mother works.

Two others, including the six-month-old baby, remain trapped under the rubble.

The children were identified as Yahya, Rakan, Ruslan, Jubran, Eve, Revan, Sayden, Luqman and Sidra.
'The children were completely charred'

Ali al-Najjar rushed to the site as soon as he heard his brother's home had been hit.

“Someone called us and said the house had been bombed. I rushed there even before the civil defence arrived,” he told Middle East Eye.

When he reached the scene, he found his brother, Dr Hamdi al-Najjar, lying motionless on the ground, with his son beside him. The home was engulfed in flames.
