Among the thousands of Palestinians fleeing the northern Gaza Strip for safety is a newborn baby, just six hours old, being carried in the arms of his grandmother.
The girl was born at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza on Friday morning. “She was born at 6:30 a.m. and we ran away at 9:00 a.m. She and her mother didn’t rest, they didn’t even breastfeed her,” said her grandmother Umm Hussein, who carried the baby. circle, Reuters reported.
“We have been walking for more than five hours, since 9:30 am. It’s a painful journey, a painful journey,” he said.
Gaza authorities said the hospital was hit by an Israeli airstrike and that rockets fell in the courtyard of al-Shifa, the enclave’s largest hospital, early Friday. The Israeli military later said that a misfire fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza hit al-Shifa.
The hospitals are located in the northern Gaza Strip, where Israel says Hamas militants are concentrated, and are filled with displaced people as well as patients and doctors.
