During an overnight airstrike in Rafah, southern Gaza, a devastating tragedy unfolded as at least 10 members of the Ayyad family lost their lives. Among the victims were five children, aged between three and 16, as reported by the local hospital.
This heartbreaking incident adds to the escalating toll of Palestinian casualties resulting from Israeli attacks in Gaza. The Ministry of Health revealed that the total number of Palestinians killed has reached a staggering 33,970, with an additional 76,770 individuals sustaining injuries. These figures, reported on April 18, highlight the severity of the situation in the region.
It is important to note that the accuracy of these statistics has not been independently verified by sources. The ongoing violence in Gaza continues to claim innocent lives and inflict immense suffering on the civilian population.
