One child killed and several people injured in Israeli strike on maternity ward at Nasser hospital [View all]

‘The enemy killed Donia and killed all her hopes’

Yesterday, we reported about a deadly Israeli air strike on the maternity ward of the Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis. Dr Mohamed Zakout describes to Al Jazeera how a little girl named Donia Abu Mohsen was killed instantly.

“The shell penetrated the ceiling and directly hit her. Parts of her head and blood are splattered on the wall as you can see. It is a brutal crime,” he said.

Donia had both legs amputated and was receiving treatment in the hospital after she was injured when her house was bombed, killing her family.

Abu Mohsen’s father, mother, and two of her brothers were killed in the first attack. A video shared online shows the immediate aftermath of the Israeli shelling with women and children screaming.

“Finally she lost her life. The enemy killed Donia and killed all her hopes. The enemy didn’t send us any warning or evacuation order. The enemy didn’t say anything before shelling our department,” Dr Zakout said.
