A Gazan father went to register his twins맥스카지노 births. They were killed in an Israeli airstrike, hospital officials say
Mohammad Abu Al Qumsan quivered and gasped in disbelief. His eyes glazed over before he fell limp in the courtyard of Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza.
맥스카지노I beg you. I beg you. Let me see them,맥스카지노 he cried out to health officials at the medical facility on Tuesday.

Hours earlier, the Palestinian father-of-two left his apartment in Deir al-Balah to collect birth certificates for his three-day-old twins 맥스카지노 Aysal and Aser, a boy and a girl. But while he was out, he said, he received a phone call that an Israeli strike had hit his home, killing the two babies, along with his wife, Jumana, 28.
Footage filmed by a freelance journalist working for CNN showed dozens of mourners crowded around Al Qumsan at Al Aqsa Hospital. Men attempt to console the bereft widower, gently stroking his forehead.
In another scene, Al Qumsan can be seen kneeling beside the shrouded bodies of the deceased, before performing Islamic funeral prayers with rows of worshippers. His wife, a pharmacist, and the twins were among at least 23 people, including a nine-month-old baby, killed in several Israeli strikes in the area, according to hospital officials.
CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for comment on the strike.

Al Qumsan told CNN he had moved his family to an apartment in Deir al-Balah, in a desperate attempt to protect his then-pregnant wife from Israel맥스카지노s relentless bombing campaign on Gaza 맥스카지노 during which at least 115 babies have been born and killed, according to the Ministry of Health there.
Just days earlier, Jumana had published a post on Facebook celebrating the birth of her twin babies, describing them as a 맥스카지노miracle.맥스카지노 The couple were married last summer, before the Israel-Hamas war began.

Al Qumsan is one of hundreds of thousands of survivors who have no time to mourn their loved ones against the backdrop of a 10-month Israeli offensive that has killed entire families, deepened a humanitarian crisis, and turned cities into wastelands.
At least 1.9 million people have been displaced, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA. The entire population of more than 2.2 million people have been exposed to the risk of famine and disease.

More than 885 health workers have been killed, the ministry said, and less than half of the strip맥스카지노s 36 hospitals are partially operational.
