In a heartwrenching incident, four members of the al-Ghazi family, including a child, were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

According to the details, the Israeli military targeted a group of Palestinians gathering water at a distribution point.

The victims were attempting to fill up water containers when they came under fire.

A disturbing video of the incident showed a child, covered in blood, in the arms of his father, lying on the ground.

The footage was taken before paramedics arrived and transferred the victims to the hospital.

Israel has been bombing Gaza since October 7 last year, resulting in the deaths of at least 37,626 people and injuring 86,098 others.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, with families being forced to drink dirty seawater for their daily needs, according to UNRWA.

UNRWA's Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said that almost 10 children are losing one or both legs in Gaza every day.

The World Health Organisation has reported that thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza have been diagnosed with malnutrition.

The international community has condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, with many calling for an end to the violence.

On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a permanent end to the military assault on the coastal enclave.

“It (ceasefire) doesn’t mean that the war is about to end, but the war in its intense phase is about to end in Rafah,” he said while talking to a local news channel.
