A 14-year-old boy, Muhammad Al-Yazji, has become the sole caregiver for his 6-month-old baby sister, Toleen after his mother was killed in an Israeli shelling of her parent’s house, and he lost contact with his father.
The boy now lives in a refugee tent with his sister in Rafah, where he has been taking care of her for the past 100 days.

This language immediately legitimizes the violence while diminishing the impact of the violence - bc it’s “Hamas-run”
[al-Ahli Arab Hospital], which is located in the central Gaza Strip, has been bombarded without any prior warning, causing severe destruction.
