Israeli airstrike on doctor’s home in Gaza kills nine of her ten children

A Palestinian paediatrician, Dr Alaa Al-Najjar, was informed of the deaths while she was at work in the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza. The children – the eldest aged 12 and the youngest just six months – were severely burned in the bombing. Her husband, Dr Hamdi Al-Najjar, critically injured in the airstrike, was brought, to the Nasser Medical Complex, as was her last surviving son, aged 11. Dr Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Palestinian Ministry of Health, said: Words fall short in describing the pain. In Gaza, it is not only healthcare workers who are targeted — Israel’s aggression goes further, wiping out entire families.

Leslie Bravery
Leslie Bravery is a Londoner with vivid World War Two memories of the Nazi blitz on his home town. In 1947/1948 His father explained to him what was happening to the Palestinians thus: “Any ideology or political movement that creates refugees in the process of realising its ambitions must be inhuman and should be opposed and condemned as unacceptable.” What followed confirmed this assessment of the Zionist entity a hundredfold. Now a retired flamenco guitarist, with a lifelong interest in the tragedy of what happened to the Palestinian people, he tries to publicise their plight. Because the daily injustices they suffer barely get a mention in the mainstream news media, Leslie edits/compiles a daily newsletter, In Occupied Palestine, for the Palestine Human Rights Campaign. These days, to preserve his sanity, he enjoys taking part in a drama group whenever possible!
