Deputy health minister Yousef Abul-Rish told a news conference on Sunday evening that the weapons that were used in the bombing of the neighborhood tore the children’s bodies apart and made them unrecognizable.
Abul-Rish said that two doctors, Mu’ein al-Aloul and Ayman Abul-Auf, were killed in the aerial attack on the al-Wehda neighborhood.
He accused the zionist regime of deliberately bombing and destroying vital facilities and sectors that are needed to provide water, electricity and health services and roads that lead to hospitals.
The health official also accused the zionist regime of obstructing medical crews' work by targeting ambulances and paramedics and preventing them from reaching bombed areas to evacuate casualties.
According to the latest statistics from the health ministry in Gaza, the number of Palestinians killed, since the zionist military aggression against the Gaza Strip started on May 10, has now risen to 197 martyrs, including 58 children and 34 women.
More than 1,235 others have also been wounded so far amid the ongoing brutal zionist attacks on Gaza.
