Israeli attack kills 12 members of one family in Gaza City
Earlier on Monday, in the late afternoon hours, the Israeli military struck a residential home with a fighter jet, killing a whole family inside the house during a family visit. This is the second day of Eid al-Fitr, and traditionally, this is what family members are doing.
Here at the hospital, the scene was quite emotionally charged and draining, just seeing the remaining family members who survived the attacks arriving at the hospital, and at the funeral bidding farewell to the women, the children and the elderly who were killed in the attacks.
Ten people were reported killed right on the spot as soon as they arrived at the hospital, including three children. Then later on, 45 minutes later, the body of a woman was recovered as well as the flesh of another body that was hard to identify, but it had to be collected in a plastic bag and brought here to the hospital.
There’s still more people buried under the rubble and there are seven others inside the emergency wards getting treatment.
Gaza’s hospitals struggling with shortage of painkillers
Even as the wounded arrive at the hospitals, doctors say it’s just very difficult for them to offer proper medical care to people, to treat injuries. Simply because there is no medicine. There are no painkillers available.
Things as basic as painkillers and other pain medication are not available at the hospital.
And the attack that killed 12 people in Gaza City earlier is not the only incident that has taken place throughout the day. From early hours of the morning, and throughout the day and up till just the past few minutes, we could clearly hear the sound of heavy artillery from the eastern part of Gaza City that is already pushing people into internal, enforced displacement.
