On Thursday, an Israeli attack on Deir al-Balah killed at least 16 Palestinians, including at least eight children, who had gathered outside the Altayara clinic, where they were waiting to receive nutritional supplements. The bodies of young children were seen lying on the street as medics scrambled to treat the wounded.

Abu Khoder Bachir: “Children and women were thrown to the ground. They were waiting for the place to open so they could receive nutritional supplements. You know that the crossings are closed, and there’s no food or drink. People are forced to wait here in order to get nutritional supplements for their children.”
