Gaza doctor, Hamdi al-Najjar, has succumbed to injuries sustained in an Israeli attack on his family home in Khan Younis on 23 May that killed nine of his 10 children.

He leaves his wife, paediatrician Alaa al-Najar, who was at work at Nasser Hospital at the time, and his 11-year-old son who was the sole survivor of the attack and is now in critical condition.
