Dr Hamdi al-Najjar, 40, had just returned from dropping his wife, Dr Alaa al-Najjar, off at Nasser Hospital, where the couple both worked, when their home in Khan Younis was struck. Nine of their children were killed, while the 10th was severely injured. His brother, Dr Ali al-Najjar, described him as a loving father who would tend to poorer patients for free. Hamdi sustained significant injuries to his brain, lungs, right arm, and kidney in the strike, Dr Milena Angelova-Chee, a Bulgarian doctor working at Nasser hospital, told the BBC last week.
