The younger son of Iman Al -Nuri, Serge, who is two years old, woke up to hunger on Thursday and asked for some nutritional supplements.

Samar’s cousin, Sama, agreed to take him and two of his older brothers-Omar, ninth, and Amir, five-to the health clinic in Deir Bla, central Gaza.

“the [medical] Iman told a local journalist working in the BBC.

“I went to [my husband] He said: “Your children, Haten! They went to this point.”

Iman, a 32 -year -old mother, rushed to the scene after hearing the strike, only to find her children and her niece on a donkey vehicle that was used to transport the losses to the hospital because there were no ambulances.

Amir Wasma was among the dead, while Omar and Raj were seriously injured.

Iman recalls, “Omar was still breathing. They tried to revive him.” “Omar needed blood, and it took an hour to get it. They gave him, but it was in vain.”

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

“They have dreams like any other children in the world. If you give them a small game, they will be very happy. They were just children.”

Iman said that the head of Ceraj is bleeding and lost an eye – a picture that cannot now get out of her head.

“He had fractures in his skull and … according to the doctor, not just bleeding, but [a major haemorrhage] On his brain, she added: How long can he stay like this, live on oxygen? Two have already gone. If he can only help me stick to a little longer. “

Impressively, doctors said they were unable to treat Cerege.

“From yesterday 07:00 until now, he is in the same case. He is still breathing, his chest is rising and falling, he is still breathing in it. Vacation!” I appealed.

A spokesman for the US Relief Group project, which runs the Altayara clinic, told BBC that the strike occurred at about 07:15.

Dr. Metcal Abutha said that women and children were waiting abroad before it opened at 09:00, in order to be first in the feeding line and other health services.

CCTV footage of the Israeli air strike shows two men walking along a street, meters away from a group of women and children. Moments later, there is an explosion next to men and air full of dust and smoke.

In a graphic video clip showing the effects of the attack, many of the people are severely killed and wounded and adults lying on the ground.

“Please make my daughter an ambulance,” a woman calls for a young girl. But for many, it is too late to help. “

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

The Israeli army said it had targeted a “terrorist from Hamas” and that it regretted any harm to what he called “non -recipient individuals”, with the addition that the accident was under review.

The hop project said that the strike was “a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, and a flagrant reminder that no one is safe in Gaza.”

Dr. Abbutha said that he was “unbearable” when he discovered that people were killed “where they were [were] Searching for their human rights and basic human rights. “

He asked about the Israeli army’s statement about the strike, including his expression, saying that “these patients cannot return these beneficiaries alive.”

He also said that the clinic was unknown, “an unexpected humanitarian facility”, and that no military measures should have occurred nearby.

Iman said that her children used to go to the clinic every two or three days to get food supplements because they were unable to give them enough food.

“Their father risks his life just to bring them accurate. When he goes to Netzarim [military corridor north of Deir al-Balah]My heart is broken. He goes there to bring food or flour. “

“Does anyone have anything? There is no food. What will the child scream if he does not want anything?”

Israel imposed a total portion of the delivery of aid to Gaza at the beginning of March and resumed its military attack against Hamas after two weeks, which led to a two -month ceasefire. She said she wanted to pressure the Palestinian armed group to release the Israeli hostages.

Although the siege decreased in part in late May, amid warnings of a wavy famine on the horizon of international experts, there is still a severe lack of food, as well as medicines and fuel.

UNRWA says that thousands of children with malnutrition through the region, with more cases every day.

Dr. Abbuta said that the hop project also noticed an anxious rise in malnutrition among adults, which they had not noticed before in Gaza.

In addition to allowing some trucks at the United Nations, Israel and the United States helped establish a new system for distributing aid run by the Gaza Humanitarian Corporation (GHF), saying they wanted to prevent Hamas from stealing aid. But since then, there have been almost daily reports of the killing of people with Israeli fire while searching for food.

The United Nations Human Rights Office said on Friday that it has so far recorded 798 killings, including 615 in the vicinity of the GHF sites, which is run by American private security contractors and are within the military areas in the south and central Gaza. 183 other killings were recorded near the United Nations and other aid caravans.

The Israeli army said it had confessed that there were incidents in which civilians were harmed and that it was working to reduce “potential friction between the population and the population [Israeli] The forces as possible. “

GHF accused the United Nations using “false and misleading” statistics from the Hamas Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Dr. Abbota called on Israel to allow enough food, medicine and fuel to meet the basic human needs of all in Gaza, so that “everyone can have a decent life.”

He also expressed concern that people had obtained a “false hope” that Israel and Hamas would soon agree to the new ceasefire deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that an agreement on a 60 -day truce could be the launch of 28 hostages only.

However, Palestinian officials said on Friday night that the indirect talks in Qatar were on the brink of collapse due to the important gaps that remain in issues such as the withdrawal of the Israeli forces and Hamas’s refusal of an Israeli plan to transfer all the residents of Gaza to a camp in Rafah.

“Every day they talk about the ceasefire, but where is it?” Iman said.

“They killed us through hunger, through fire, through bombs, through air strikes. We have died in every way.”

“It is better to go to God instead of staying with any of them. May God give me patience.”
