In the wake of an Israeli airstrike, a mother grieves for her sons and awaits humanitarian support.

Iman al-Nouri’s youngest son, two-year-old Siraj, woke up crying from hunger on Thursday and asked to get some nutritional supplements.

Siraj’s 14-year-old cousin, Sama, agreed to take him and two of his older brothers – Omar, nine, and Amir, five – to the Altayara health clinic in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.
“The [medical] point was still closed, so they were sitting on the pavement when suddenly we heard the sound of the strike,” Iman told a local journalist working for the BBC.
“I went to [my husband] and said: ‘Your children, Hatim! They went to the point.'”
