@middleeasteye: “On October, 8th, the Israeli army launched a series of air strike attacks on the city of Gaza. One of the missiles struck, without warning, my uncle Abdel Nasser Shamalakh's house. He and his family were killed instantly. An unimaginable misery in my heart that no matter how hard they try, just won't go away.” Wafa Shamalakh provided details on how she lost 30 members of her family in Gaza due to Israeli air strikes. She called for a ceasefire during the conference that was held by the London-based International Centre of Justice for Palestinians. “We call for a ceasefire. We will not let my family or anyone massacred in Palestine die in vain.” The press conference coincided with a statement from the World Health Organisation, which reported that Gaza's principal medical facility, the al-Shifa hospital, is essentially non-operational. The facility, along with other hospitals, has been encircled by Israeli forces, severely impacting the staff's ability to provide adequate patient care.
