Wateen and Ahmad are 14-month-old twins who have been separated after an israeli attackI what destroyed his house and killed his mother in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. The sister of the babies’ mother told Reuters that Ahmad suffered minor injuries in the bombing, while Wateen suffered serious injuries and is admitted to the Nasser hospital.

When the attack occurred, the babies and their mother were sleeping. “We spoke to her at twelve and she told us that she was going to breastfeed the babies and They were going to sleep before they attacked them“the sister said. Later, around two in the morning, they woke up alarmed by a bombing that had set fire to the neighborhood where the babies and their mother lived.

The mother came out with Ahmad in her arms and was able to protect him, but she died shortly after from a blow to the head. Now, the twins are separated since little Wateen has been in the hospital for several days. She doesn’t want to drink formula because she was used to breastfeeding. She doesn’t recognize any family members, not even her father, and she cries every time she hears a bombing. Meanwhile, her brother, not used to her absence and after the loss of her mother, cries desperately every dayaccording to his aunt.

Israel’s massacres in Gaza do not stop and, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the Israeli Army has already killed more than 2,000 children since last October 7.
