CAIRO (AP) - The bodies of 79 people killed by Israeli strikes have been brought to hospitals in the past 24 hours, Gaza ‘s Health Ministry said Saturday - a toll that doesn’t include hospitals in the battered north that it said are now inaccessible.
The dead over the past day in Israel’s renewed military offensive included nine of a doctor’s 10 children, horrified colleagues and the Health Ministry said.
Alaa Najjar, a pediatrician at Nasser Hospital, was on duty at the time and ran home to find her family’s house on fire, Ahmad al-Farra, head of the hospital’s pediatric department, told The Associated Press.
Najjar’s husband was severely wounded and their only surviving child, an 11-year-old son, was in critical condition after Friday’s strike in the southern city of Khan Younis, Farra said.
