A Palestinian baby girl born 17 days earlier was killed during the Gaza war. The newborn girl was born in a hospital in southern Gaza city amid the war.

He died in an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday.

Along with the newborn girl, her 2-year-old brother Ahmed was also killed in the Israeli airstrike. "Her whole family was sleeping when the Israeli army demolished their apartment building in Rafah before dawn," said Suzanne Zorab, the girl's grandmother.

He said that his Amira was just 17 days old. His name was also not registered. "My voice was trembling as she spoke from the side of her son's hospital bed during the attack. I was also injured in the attack," Sujan said.

Hospital officials said about 27 people were killed in the Israeli airstrike, including Amira and her 2-year-old brother Ahmed. According to the Health Ministry, the death toll of Palestinians in the Gaza attack has reached close to 20,000. Most have been killed in Israeli air strikes, which have ravaged the two-and-a-half-month-long besieged Gaza area. Israeli forces often attack families living inside their homes.

Why did the Israeli army attack Gaza?

The war began when militants from Hamas and other groups that rule Gaza crossed into southern Israel on October 7, killing about 1,200 people, mostly Israeli civilians, and abducting 240 other civilians.
