Staggering number of children killed in Israel’s Nuseirat attack

Among the 274 dead from Israel’s army incursion are at least 64 children, 57 women, and 37 elderly people, Gaza’s health ministry says, with another 798 Palestinians wounded in the raid, Al Jazeera reports.

The Palestinian death toll from the raid has been the worst over a 24-hour period in Gaza for months.

“My child was crying, afraid of the sound of the plane firing at us,” said Hadeel Radwan, 32, recounting how they fled the intense attack as she carried her seven-month-old daughter.

“We all felt that we wouldn’t survive. This brutal occupation will not let us live.”
