Imman Al-Nouri’s youngest son, two-year-old Siraj, woke up on Thursday, crying, and asked him to get some nutritional supplements.

Siraj’s 14-year-old cousin Sama agreed to take him and his older brothers to the health clinic in the Altayara in Deir Al-Balah in the center of Gaza.

” [medical] Point was still closed, so when we suddenly heard the sound of the strike, they were sitting on the sidewalk, Iman Iman said to a local journalist working for BBC.

“I went [my husband] And he said: ‘Your children Hatim! They went to the subject. ‘”

After hearing the strike, a 32 -year -old mother of five people ran to the stage after hearing the strike, lying only in a donkey car used to move their sons and nephew to the hospital because there was no ambulance.

When the supervisor and the salam were among the dead, Omar and Siraj were seriously injured.

“Omar still breathed in it. They tried to revive him,” Iman remembered. “Omar needed blood, and it took an hour for them to take it. They gave him, but in vain.”

“Why did they go? Why? What did they do wrong?” he asked.

“Just like other children in the world, they had dreams. If you gave them a little toy, they would be very happy. They were only children.”

Iman said that Siraj’s head was bleeding and lost his eyes – now an image he can’t get out of his head.

“There was a broken skull and … According to the doctor, not just bleeding, but [a major haemorrhage] In his brain, “he added.” How long can it stay like this, live on oxygen? Two are already gone. I wish he could help me last a little longer. “

Tragically, doctors said they couldn’t treat Sijaj.

“Since yesterday, at 07:00, the same situation so far. He’s still breathing, his chest is rising and falling, he’s still breathing. Save him!” He begged.

The US -based charity project, which manages the Altayara clinic, said that the strike was held at 07:15 to Hope Spokesman BBC.

Dr Mithqal Abutaha said that he was waiting outside before it was opened at 09:00 to enter the first place for nutrition and other health services for women and children.

CCTV images of Israeli air strike show two men walking along a street only meters away from a group of women and children. Shortly after, there is an explosion next to men and the air is filled with dust and smoke.

Following the attack, many dead and seriously wounded children and adults are seen in a graphic video lying on the ground.

“Please get an ambulance to my daughter,” a woman called as she turned to a young girl. But it’s too late to help many. “

Dr Abutaha said that 16 people were killed, including 10 children and three women.

Israeli army, a “Hamas terrorist” targeted and the incident was reviewed, adding, “individuals who do not participate” said it damages what is called.

Project Hope, the strike “an explicit violation of international humanitarian law and no one and no place in Gaza reminded that” he said.

Dr Abutaha said it was “unbearable” when he found out that people were killed. [were] to seek basic human and human rights “.

He questioned the Israeli army’s statement about the strike, including the expression of regret, and said, “These patients could not revive these beneficiaries.”

He also said that the clinic is unrecognizable, a “decongled human facility” and that no military action should be carried out nearby.

Iman said that his children went to the clinic every two or three days to get nutritional supplements because he and Hatim could not give them enough food.

“Father only puts his life at risk to bring flour. When he goes to Netzarim [military corridor north of Deir al-Balah]My heart is breaking. He’s going to bring food or flour there. “

“Is there anything? There is no food. If he didn’t want anything, what else would he scream?”

At the beginning of March, Israel implemented a total of aid delivery to Gaza and two weeks later continued his military attack against Hamas and a two -month ceasefire collapsed. He said he wanted to put pressure on the Palestinian armed group to release Israel hostages.

Although the blockade was partially alleviated in late May, there are still serious food problems, medicine and fuel in the midst of warnings from global experts.

The UN Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) says there are thousands of malnutrition in the region and more cases are detected every day.

Dr. Abutaha said that Project Hope has a worrying increase in malnutrition cases between adults that they had never observed in Gaza before.

In addition to allowing some UN aid trucks, Israel and the United States have helped to establish a new aid system by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), saying they wanted to prevent Hamas from stealing aid. However, since then, people who were killed by Israeli fire while looking for food have almost daily reports.

The UN Human Rights Office said on Friday, said that the US private security contractors have recorded 798 murders, including 615 near GHF sites in the military regions in South and Central Gaza. Other 183 murder was recorded near the UN and other aid convoys.

The Israeli army said that there are events where civilians were damaged and that he was working to minimize the possible friction between the population and the population and the population. [Israeli] As much as possible “.

The GHF accused the UN of using “false and misleading” statistics from the Ministry of Health, operated by Hamas of Gaza.

Dr. Abutaha urged Israel to allow enough food, medicine and fuel to meet the basic human needs of everyone in Gaza, so that “everyone can have an honorable life”.

He also expressed his concerns that people have been given “fake hope” that Israel and Hamas can soon accept a new ceasefire agreement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that an agreement on a 60 -day ceasefire and the release of 28 hostages could only be for days.

However, the Palestinian officials said that on Friday night, indirect talks in Qatar were on the verge of collapse due to important gaps such as withdrawing Israeli troops and rejecting the plan of Hamas’s entire population to a camp in Rafah.

“They talk about the ceasefire every day, but where?” He said.

“They killed us with hunger, gunfire, bombs, air strikes. We died in every way possible.”

“Going to God is better than staying with any of them. May God give me patience.”
