In Khan Younis, Mahmoud Abdullah stands by the bedside of his daughter Raseel (6 years old) in the intensive care unit at Nasser Medical Complex, just days after bidding farewell to his eldest daughter Rital (8 years old), who was killed in an Israeli strike. Last Thursday at dawn, an Israeli helicopter targeted a tent housing the Balawi family in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis, resulting in the deaths of the girls' uncle, Abdullah Nasser Abdel Fattah al-Balawi (20 years old), and Rital, and the injury of Raseel, her mother, and another child. Raseel suffered shrapnel wounds to the brain, a fracture in her left leg, and a pelvic fracture, and her condition remains critical. The father appeals to the relevant authorities to secure an urgent medical referral abroad, stressing that time is a decisive factor. The story reflects the tragedy of hundreds of families in Gaza, where suffering continues after the funerals of the martyrs.
