The father of nine children killed by an Israeli blow to Gaza still in critical condition

Palestinian’s husband in Gaza, whose children were killed in an Israeli blow on Friday, remains in a critical condition, according to the hospital healing with him.

“The life of Hamdi Al-Nadzhar remains in danger,” said Dr. Milena Angelova-Chi, a Bulgarian doctor working at Nasser Hospital in Khan Enis, told the BBC.

An Israeli blow killed nine of the couple’s 10 children on Friday and left the 11-year-old son of the couple wounded.

The Israeli military said the incident was under review.

On Sunday, the Hamas Health Ministry said Israeli air strikes killed 22 dawn people, mainly in the central and southern regions of the territory.

Hamdi Al -Najar -also a doctor -suffered significant injuries to the brain, lungs, right hand and kidneys, said Dr. Angela -Chiya.

The hospital is “doing everything possible for him,” she added.

The surviving son of the couple Adam was also injured. Dr. Angela-Chih said her colleagues told her she was doing “wisely well”.

Dr. Alaa Al-Nadjar worked in Nasser hospital when the Israeli attack happened. A video shared by the Director of the Ministry of Health Dr. Munuer Albursh and checked by the BBC showed that small charred bodies were raised by rubble.

Nine children – Yahya, Rakan, Raslan, Gebran, Eve, Rival, Sayden, Luqman and Sidra – were between just a few months and 12.

Her colleague is confronted with “indescribable suffering,” said Dr. Angela-Chih.

At the moment, “Alaa’s priority is her family,” she said, adding, “She is not the only one who is facing it, many families are in the same position.”

“Everyone is really shocked because it has been going on for 18 months and is complicated by a constant threat of death, constant movements and evacuations,” she said.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday that “his plane struck a number of suspects, identified, operating by a structure adjacent to IDF troops in the Khan Einnis area.”

It says Khan Denis is a “dangerous war zone” and IDF told people to leave their own safety. On Monday IDF They said the people in the Han Dinis check should leave Before an “unprecedented attack” in one of the largest such evacuation orders in recent months.

Some Palestinians told the BBC that they had not left because “because they have nowhere to go.” According to the UN, about 81% of the territory is already either subordinate to Israeli evacuation orders or are located in militarized areas for “unemployed”.

Israel resumed air strikes and ground operations on March 18, and since then they have killed 3 785 Palestinians, the health ministry said.

Speaking after the strike that killed the nine children of Al-Najar, an Israeli woman who was kept in Gaza hollow, told a rally in Tel Aviv that air strikes were what she was most afraid of while captive.

Naama Levy – one of the five troops for the monitoring of women abducted during the attack on October 7, led by Hamas – said that every time air strikes began, she was convinced that she would die. She said she was afraid of the life of the other hostages in Gaza.

Israel also imposed a total blockade of Gaza on March 2, which lasted 11 weeks before allowing limited assistance to enter the territory in the conditions of hunger warnings and increasing international outrage.

The Israeli military body COGAT said on Saturday morning that 388 trucks carrying help have entered Gaza on Monday. The UN says much more help is needed – between 500 and 600 trucks a day.

The World Food Program (WFP) told the BBC that no more trucks had entered the gas on Saturday and it stopped in the spread of bread.

“Due to limited supplies reaching gas and increased pressure on the operation of large crowd bakeries, bakeries have caused significant safety concerns about the safety of facilities, workers and beneficiaries,” a spokesman said.

“WFP agrees and fully supports the collective decision of bakeries to close overnight on May 24 for severe security threats.”

The spokesman added that “operations in the current conditions are not viable.”

Dr. Angela-Chih said that her colleagues at the hospital work “hungry”, and one told her on Saturday that there were only a few more small packages of biscuits with a date to eat.

Israel said the blockade was intended to put pressure on Hamas to release the hostages, which the Palestinian armed group Hamas still holds in Gaza. Israel also accuses Hamas of theft of supplies that the group denied.

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to Hamas’s cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 others were hostage.

At least 53 939 people, including at least 16,500 children, have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the health ministry in the territory.
