The director of Al-Shifa hospital was on duty Saturday marshalling the facility¡¯s response to Israel¡¯s assault on Gaza City when two victims killed in a strike were delivered to the ward: his brother and his sister-in-law.

¡°I was shocked and devastated to see the bodies of my brother and his wife,¡± said Mohammed Abu Salmiya, who was working in the emergency department of the territory¡¯s main hospital at the time.

¡°Anything is possible now, as you receive your dearest ones as martyrs or wounded,¡± he said. ¡°The occupation¡¯s crimes continue, and the number of martyrs keeps rising.¡±
