A DOCTOR based in Ireland, whose nine nieces and nephews were wiped out after an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, has spoken of his devastation.

Dr Ali Al-Najjar, who works as a paediatrician in Sligo University Hospital, has been left heartbroken after nearly all of his sister Dr Alaa Al-Najjar’s immediate family were killed.

Dr Alaa Al-Najjar was at work at the Nasser medical complex at the time of the attack. One of her sons survived while her husband Dr Hamdi Al-Najjar is still fighting for his life.
