'Unbearably cruel': Gaza doctor loses 9 children while on duty
Gulf News
|May 26, 2025
THE OLDEST WAS 12 YEARS OLD AND THE YOUNGEST JUST SEVEN MONTHS
Dr. Alaa Al Najjar, a paediatrician at the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza, has spent months tending to injured children in the chaos of war.
On Friday, she left her 10 children at home, kissed them goodbye, and walked into the hospital to begin another shift in the emergency ward.
Hours later, her colleagues wheeled in the charred and dis-membered bodies of nine children. They were her own.
An Israeli airstrike had struck Dr Al Najjar's home in the Qizan Al Najjar neighbourhood of Khan Younis, killing nine of her children.
