The chief of emergency services in northern Gaza, Fares Afana, told CNN that an 11-hour-old baby girl was brought home from the hospital with a head wound on Friday when a strike struck her house.
The strike killed the infant young lady's dad and uncle and harmed her mom and grandma, Afana said. The tiny baby receives stitches to a wound at the base of her neck in a video from the hospital where the family received treatment for their injuries.
Dr. Hussam Abu Saifiya, the hospital director, told CNN on Saturday that the newborn baby's mother was in critical condition at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, where she was being treated in the intensive care unit. The doctor added that the baby girl was healthy and "next to her mother."
CNN was informed by the Israeli Defense Forces that they "were not aware" of a strike in the vicinity at the time the witnesses described it, but that they would need precise coordinates to be certain.
The child's granddad said the young lady — who was not yet named — was brought into the world at 1 a.m. on Friday and was being brought back by her folks while the structure was struck, as per a video that shows him in an emergency vehicle, going with his significant other who was likewise harmed in the strike.
“We have no fighters or anything like that. I say to the world: look at us. Stop the war. Stop the war. I swear to God, we are peaceful. We are peaceful. We are peaceful. My children are peaceful. They even used to work inside Israel. We do not do anything wrong,” the grandfather said.
