Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Nine out of Gaza doctor’s 10 children killed in Israeli airstrike
Dr. Alaa Najjar, 38, is a Palestinian pediatrician and the mother of her
ten children in southern Gaza. While she was working in the emergency room at the
medical complex on May 23, a missile fired by Israeli aircraft struck her house.
Nine of her ten children were killed at the site. Charred remains of the seven
children were taken to the hospital in white plastic bags, where she was
working, but the other two bodies were charred on the site. The only surviving
child, 11-year-old Adam, was severely injured and taken to the same hospital.
Also, when her husband returned home after having dropped her at the hospital
and gone to grab food for their children, he found that his house was on fire.
He then immediately rushed inside to rescue his children, but he was struck by
another missile. He was critically injured and taken to the hospital, where his
wife was at work. There, Dr. Alaa Najjar was met by the seven bodies of her
children, the only surviving child, and her husband in the hospital, and was notified
of what had happened to the other children. Yet, she continued her work to look
after other patients while checking her injured son and husband from time to
time. Can the killing of civilians help return the hostages?
Read the article and learn what happened to a family of 12 in southern Gaza.
