Gaza Airstrike: Nurse Recounts Loss of Wife and 16 Family Members In a devastating incident on May 17th, 2025, an Israeli airstrike on a home in Gaza claimed the lives of a pregnant woman and 16 members of her family. Among the victims were seven children, all under the age of eight. The husband, Raed Hamada, a volunteer nurse, shared his harrowing experience with Sahat English, recounting the events and expressing his grief. "She was pregnant in my last month," Hamada said, his voice choked with emotion. He described the horrific scene after the bombing, searching through the rubble to recover the remains of his loved ones. "I collected her pieces inside a bag...and buried them." The images of the family shown in the video are heartbreaking, showing the smiling faces of his children now lost. Hamada also criticized the lack of warning before the strike. "We haven't received any evacuation order. No one told me that there might be a wanted person or to evacuate. This is the Israeli policy," he stated, highlighting the devastating impact of such actions. The incident underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the devastating consequences of the conflict on civilians. The sheer number of children lost adds to the tragedy, serving as a stark reminder of the human cost of war.
