For the sixth day in a row, Israel continues its assault on Palestinian civilians in Gaza Strip. So far more than 90 people were killed and 750 were injured, mostly women and children. Israeli attacks have mainly targeted innocent civilians, mainly women, children and elderly. Not only that, but the attacks have also targeted media personnel and medical staff.
Early Monday morning, four first aid workers arriving at a bombed residential home in Beit Hanoun to provide medical aid to the injured were also attacked by an Israeli air raid. The paramedics were wounded and the ambulance sustained damage.
PMRS’s Abu Taema primary health care center in South East Khan Younes, which has been providing medical care to the people and has been receiving people suffering from psychological shock, has also been affected due to the continuous bombardment, and just like the rest of the village, the clinic now has no electricity, no water, no Internet and no means of communication.
And as the world prepares to celebrate Universal Children’s Day on Nov 20, Israel kills innocent children in Gaza. An Israeli attack on Aldalou family home on Sunday 18th Nov killed at least eleven members of the same family, including five children, and three women.
Israeli air raids continue, and people who were waiting for the winter and expecting rain to fall from the sky are now taking shelter as it is raining missiles.
