**Gaza Doctor Dies of Injuries Sustained in Israeli Airstrike**
A Palestinian doctor, Dr. Hamdi al-Najjar, has passed away due to injuries he sustained during an Israeli airstrike on his home in Gaza on May 23rd. The attack also killed nine of his children and left one severely injured.
Dr. al-Najjar was returning from dropping off his wife at Nasser Hospital, where they both worked, when the strike occurred. He died after being treated for brain and internal injuries in a hospital. His son Adam, who is 11 years old, was also severely injured in the attack.
The Israel Defense Forces have said that they are reviewing the incident to determine if any uninvolved individuals were harmed. The claim of harming uninvolved people is being reviewed.
**A Tragic Loss**
Dr. al-Najjar’s death is a tragic reminder of the devastating impact of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on civilians, particularly children and medical professionals. As a doctor, he was among the most privileged members of his community in Gaza, but even his expertise and training could not save him from the brutal consequences of war.
**A Plea for Help**
In a desperate bid to save Adam’s life, Dr. al-Najjar’s uncle, Dr. Ali al-Najjar, appealed to Italy’s government for help. The Italian government has indicated its willingness to send Adam to Italy for treatment, but the feasibility of this proposal is still being examined.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with at least 54,418 people killed during the war, according to Hamas-run health ministry. The conflict has led to widespread destruction and a severe humanitarian crisis, with many civilians struggling to access basic necessities like food and water.
