Nine children of Palestinian paediatrician Dr. Alaa Al Najjar were killed in an Israeli airstrike on their home in Khan Younis, Gaza, while she was at work. Her husband, also a doctor, is critically injured and their surviving son remains hospitalised. The strike left graphic devastation, with rescuers pulling children’s bodies from the rubble. British doctors at Nasser Hospital described the attack as “unimaginable,” highlighting that the family had no military links. Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry condemned the targeting of medical workers. The Israeli military has yet to comment. Over 53,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began in 2023.
