In Gaza, a devastating air strike has shattered the home of Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, a dedicated pediatric specialist at al-Tahrir hospital. While she was busy treating victims at the Nasser medical complex, her home was hit unexpectedly, resulting in the tragic loss of nine of her ten children, including her 12-year-old eldest.
The catastrophe unfolded in Khan Yunis, where a CGTN stringer interviewed Ali al-Najjar, the doctor’s brother-in-law. He described a deafening blast that shook the entire area and reduced the home to rubble. Fortunately, one child and the doctor’s husband survived their injuries.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict. Our thoughts are with Dr. Alaa and her family as they navigate this unimaginable loss. Stay safe and cherish every moment. 💔😔
