Palestinian father Mohammad Abu al-Qumsan, who hails from northern Gaza and is currently displaced in the central region, went this morning to issue birth certificates for his newborn twins.
However, the twins and their mother were killed during the process when their home was targeted by an Israeli airstrike.

Another reminder from the #IsmailHaniyeh murder.... Isreal can have targeted attacks with minimal collateral damage.... but in #Gaza they choose to do #Genocide and target children....
Doctor: “All of the disasters I’ve seen combined, 40 mission trips, 30 years, Ground Zero, earthquakes. All of that combined doesn’t equal the level of carnage I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza”
Reporter: Is it mostly children?
Doctor: Almost exclusively…
According to The Guardian, citing foreign surgeons who worked in Gaza, Israeli weapons designed to disperse high levels of shrapnel are inflicting severe injuries on civilians, particularly children.
The weapons, used in densely populated civilian areas, include missiles and shells packed with additional metal fragments intended to maximize harm.
Volunteer doctors at Gaza hospitals report that a significant portion of their surgeries involve children struck by tiny shrapnel pieces that cause extensive internal damage despite leaving nearly imperceptible entry wounds. Amnesty International has criticized these weapons for their apparent intent to cause maximum casualties.
Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma surgeon from California who worked at a hospital in southern Gaza, described treating numerous young children with injuries from these small but devastating shrapnel pieces: "About half of the injuries I treated were in young kids. The splinter injuries were minuscule—much smaller than anything I’ve encountered before—but they caused extensive internal damage."
The recent deaths of more #Palestinian children due to hunger & malnutrition leaves no doubt that famine has spread across the entire #Gaza strip - UN experts warn.
