At the Al -Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al -Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, Iman Al -Nuri and her husband Hatem stand in a state of collapse, along with the bed of their wounded child, Siraj, who is two and a half years old, who lost one of his eyes in an Israeli raid targeting an area near a medical center.
In the same raid, the couple lost two of their children, 8 years old and prince (5 years), while Siraj was seriously injured, and he was subsequently transferred to intensive care.
The Israeli bombing occurred early on the day of the accident, while the three children were on their way to a local health center to obtain food supplements, in a civilian area that is safe from a safe and run by multiple health institutions.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the raid resulted in the martyrdom of 16 people, including 10 children, while the international organization confirmed that the strike fell close to its clinic in the Al -Tayyara neighborhood in Deir Al -Balah.
The bereaved mother, who lost two of her children in moments, says that her children left the house in search of food that blocks their livelihood in light of the scarcity of food due to the siege, but they did not return. She added, “They woke up in the early morning, and went to a nearby medical center to obtain nutritional supplements, because the food is not available … They did not go a long time to leave, until the raid occurred.”
She continues with sorrow that Amir and his cousin Sama were martyred immediately, while Omar arrived at the hospital while he was still alive, but it is not possible to secure the necessary blood for him at the appropriate time, which led to his martyrdom as well, despite his father’s attempts to donate his blood to save him.
The mother indicates that her child is a lamp suffered a severe eye injury, and she says that doctors were unable to save her, which made him lose his partially. She explains that the raid did not target a military position as Israel says, but rather afflicted children who were seeking food in a risk -free area, which increases the family’s tragedy, which barely secured the needs of its children under the conditions of war and the siege.
The faith of the international community appeals to allowing her child to be treated outside Gaza, stressing that the collapsed health sector is no longer able to provide appropriate care for the injured children. She says that the family has lost everything, “we lost our children, and we lost our ability to endure … We ask nothing but to give Siraj an opportunity to treat, and not to be buried his dream as his brothers were buried.”
The family lives today in the absence of a deadly killer in a silent house, the mother says that life was beating by the laughs of children before its walls turned into bleak walls. “They were filling the house with life, they did not like to get away from me, they dreamed of a decent life like the rest of the world, but their dreams were buried under the rubble.”
This incident comes in light of the continuation of the Israeli war on Gaza since October 20, 2023, which led to the death of more than 58,000 Palestinians, according to the Ministry of Health in the Strip, while more than two million people live under siege, and they face the danger of hunger and malnutrition, in one of the most humanitarian crises in the history of Gaza.
