3-Day-Old Infant Pulled from Rubble of Rafah Home Flattened in Israeli Strike

HeadlineDec 21, 2023

Israel continues to attack southern Gaza. On Wednesday, a 3-day-old infant was pulled from the rubble, alive but injured, after Israeli strikes flattened residential buildings in Rafah.

Amin Almasry: “We saved her life at the last moment. We couldn’t see her because of the smoke created by the rocket, so we were looking for her. My cousin carried her outside so she could breathe properly. Three days old, a small baby girl. Three days old, choked because of the rocket strikes.”
