17 children from Gaza arrive in Italy for medical treatment

A group of 17 children from Gaza, accompanied by 50 family members, arrived in Italy for medical treatment.

Among the group is Dr Alaa al-Najjar and her son Adam Hamdi al-Najjar, who lost his father and nine siblings in an Israeli air strike which targeted their home in the southern city of Khan Younis last month. 

Adam, who suffered multiple fractures, arrived with his mother at Milan's Linate Airport, where he was received by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani before being transferred to the city's Niguarda Hospital.
