STORYLINE:
A Palestinian medic was transporting dead bodies following an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza refugee camp on Wednesday when he realised that one of them was his mother.
An Israeli strike on a car in central Gaza’s Maghazi Refugee Camp killed three people and injured 10 others, according to Palestinian Health officials and Associated Press journalists.
The dead were taken by ambulance to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital where they were counted by AP staff there.
In the emergency room, one of the Red Crescent workers that had transported the bodies suddenly realised that his 61-year-old mother was among the dead, before breaking down in tears.
“Oh god, I swear, she is my mother, I didn’t know it was her,” said Abed Bardini, sobbing inconsolably as Samira Bardini’s body was taken away for burial.
The Israeli army did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the strike.
The war erupted on October 7 last year when Hamas militants from Gaza stormed southern Israel and killed some 1, 200 people.
Israel responded by bombarding and invading the enclave killing over 43, 000 Palestinians according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The ministry’s tally does not distinguish between combatants and civilians.
