Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 38 Palestinians and injured another 190 over the past 24 hours. An estimated half a million Palestinians remain in Gaza City despite an advance by Israeli tanks, paratroopers, explosive-laden robots and remote-controlled vehicles. Among the latest victims is a 5-year-old Palestinian girl named Noor, whose parents frantically searched the rubble of their Gaza City home Monday after it was flattened by an Israeli strike.

Nidal Daloul: “Bring me Noor. Bring me Noor. In seven years, I’ve only had her. I do not have any children except her. Noor is under the rubble. Where is Noor?”

Noor was found under the debris but later died in an ambulance. Her family had fled their home in the Zeitoun neighborhood after it was destroyed in a previous strike. Meanwhile, Gaza’s Health Ministry is warning that patients face “certain death” at hospitals that have nearly exhausted fuel supplies needed for generators that power lifesaving medical equipment.
