Palestinians in Gaza have buried the 15 members of the same family killed in Israel’s attack on central az-Zawayda, Al Jazeera reports.

The family killed was that of Sami Jawad al-Ejlah, who was known as Abu Jawad. The 45-year-old was killed when his meat warehouse was hit, along with his 11 children who were aged between two and 11.

Abdelhadi al-Ejlah, Sami’s brother, described his relative as “an honourable man” who had built up a frozen meat business and was engaged in charitable causes, leading to him being known as “the father of the poor”.

Sami was “murdered along with all of his kids”, Abdelhadi told Al Jazeera, with the exception of one who is currently in intensive care.
