Gaza doctor receives charred bodies of her nine children while on duty
A Palestinian paediatrician received the charred bodies of nine of her children while on duty at the hospital 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 old - were severely burned in the bombing.
Shortly before the strike, Najjar had left for work with her husband, 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.
