Gaza City, November 19 (RHC)-- In northern Gaza, at least 17 Palestinians were killed when Israel’s military bombed a home near the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia.  The dead were members of the family of Dr. Hani Badran, one of the few remaining medical workers at Kamal Adwan. 

Video shows hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who lost his own son to an Israeli airstrike last month, comforting Dr. Badran after delivering the news.  The hospital has since come under fresh attacks by Israeli forces who shelled and fired on the building, including right outside Dr. Abu Safiya’s office.  Dr. Abu Safiya reports wounded patients are dying daily due to a severe lack of doctors and medical supplies.

Elsewhere, an Israeli airstrike on a house in Gaza City on Monday killed seven Palestinians and wounded 10 others.  Survivors said the strike came without warning.  One survivor, Mohamed Abu Ryaleh, told reporters: “We were at home having breakfast. I went out and suddenly heard the sound of a bombing.  I returned back, thinking it was another house that was hit.  I saw the whole house was damaged.  I started searching and discovered all of the martyrs were kids.  All of those who were at home were elderly, children and infants.  They were all women.  Who else would be there?  All of the men were at work.  We were recovering them in pieces.”
