On Friday, like every day, Dr. Alaa Al Nadzhar said goodbye to her ten children before leaving home. The youngest, fabulous, six months, still slept. And, like every day, with the war in Gaza and Israeli attacks a few meters from his area Yana Yuis, Al Nadzhar was worried that he would leave them at home and went to work.
But the 35 -strong had had no choice. The doctor, one of the more and more meager experts in gas, is the respected pediatrician of the Nasser medical complex. Last Friday, he had to work to take care of the injured children who survived in Israeli attacks. He never thought that the farewell of his family would be the last.
A few hours later, the carbonized bodies of the seven children, killed by the Israeli air attack in Jan -Yuis, arrived at the hospital where they work. Two other bodies, including Siden, were under the debris. Of his ten children, only one survived, together with his father Hamdie in Najar, 40 years old, who is also a doctor. Both are hospitalized.
“This is one of the most heartbreaking tragedies from the very beginning of the conflict,” says Mohammed Sacker, head of the Nasser Hospital. “And this happened to the pediatrician who devoted his life to the salvation of children and saw how he was taken from his offspring in instant fire fire and silence.”
Images shared by the director of the Gaza Ministry of Health and confirmed Keeper They show the burned and divided bodies of children when they are taken from under the garbage of the family house, near the gas station, while the flame still used what was left of the building.
“When I heard that the house was bombarded, I instinctively ran to my car and headed for the place because I knew that my brother and their children were inside. Upon arrival, they hit me. I found my nephew Adam, who survived, lying on the street under the wreckage. I was covered with soot, almost torn with clothes, but still held my soul. My brother lay on the other side.
Ali was those who called the medical team and took two survivors to the hospital. Then, under the wreckage, the search for nine nephews and nephews began.
“It was very difficult to clean the house because the roof collapsed. I began to look for the house, hoping to find one of the children, because I suggested that the bombing could throw them out of the house, ”Ali explains. “But then, unfortunately, the first burned body appeared. After a complete turnover of fire, we found others: some were mutilated and all burned. ”
Alaa, when Najar quickly went to the scene of the explosion, while rescuers took out the body of his daughter Revan from garbage. In tears, he begged to let her hug her for the last time.
“His body was completely burned at the top, nothing left of his skin,” Ali recalls. “We have not yet been able to find the bodies of two children of my brother: the eldest, Yahya, 12 years old, and a six -month girl, Syden.” Sources of the Nasser Hospital, which handed over the bodies of children in one after another, showed that the mother cannot identify them from the scale of the burns. Their names were: Yahya, Rakan, Ruslan, Jubra, Eve, Revan, Sadeden, Lukman and Sidr.
The doctor returned to the hospital to see her 11 -year -old son Adam, already his husband.
“Alaa went to the morgue, hugged her children, read the Qur’an and prayed for them,” says 53 -year -old doctor Ahmed Al Farra, director of the Nasser medical complex of the medical complex. “Other doctors around her collapsed in pain and anger, but Dr. Alaa remained calm. God gave her the world. After they buried them, she went directly to see her husband and son and began to take care of them. ”
His hospital colleagues describe Al Nojara as a devoted, educated and ethical doctor who can maintain huge pressure; He visited dozens of children and patients daily, taking care of a large family. “She was constantly worried about her children when she was in the hospital. When she knew that in the Tsizan area in the Kaisan area they diluted the house, her mother’s heart felt that something was going wrong, ”recalls Farra.
The director of the hospital says there were no words to describe his loss. “The one who wants to comment is the first thing that happens the same thing happens: suddenly loses all the people with whom they have links.”
After the last, saying goodbye to the lifeless bodies of his seven children, Alaa went into the room, where they belonged to their only son. “Her husband received serious injuries: damage to the brain and fractures caused by shrapnel; In addition to shrapnel wounds and fractures in the chest. They connected it to the respirator and placed medical tubes, ”says Farra. “The condition of his son was relatively better; His injuries were between moderate and serious. ”
Doctors’ colleagues and friends claim that her children had Egyptian citizenship, and that Alaa and Hamdi planned to go to Egypt to enter the University of Al -Azhara in Cairo.
For its part, the Israeli defense forces (PII) said that the aircraft attacked “several identified suspects working from a structure adjacent to the PII troops in the Yana Yuis area.” “The area of Yana Unis is a dangerous zone of military operations. Before starting operations, IDF evacuated civilians in this area for their own security. RAS revised the complaint about damage to unleashed civilians, ”they said.
The Israeli army issued numerous orders for evacuation and last week ordered the inhabitants of Jan Yunis to leave because the city will become a “combat” area. Many residents have any place to escape, after a year and a half of the conflict during which they were moved several times. At this time, more than 54,000 people died in Gaza, of which more than 16,500 were boys and girls.
Farra has only one desire: “My only hope is that those who died are not just names on paper. We were created like any other person in this world. And, like any other person, we have the right to live. ”
