A 12-year-old girl died in an apparent attack on a hospital in Gaza, and a few weeks ago she said in an interview that she only wanted to "end the war".
On Sunday night, a tank shell hit a children's ward at the Nasser Hospital Complex in Khan Younis, killing 12-year-old Dounia. She lost a leg in an airstrike, as did her mother, father, brother and sister.
Dunia recently told Child Protection International that she hopes someone can take her out of the country so she can get a prosthetic leg.
Dunya recently said in the organization's ** that she wants to be a doctor when she grows up so that she can ** other children like her.
I only want one thing: to end the war," she said.
Dunia's interview was filmed between Nov. 24 and Dec. 1, when the war between Israel and Hamas had just ceased to be temporarily ceasefired.
Many have sought refuge at Nasser General Hospital, and now there are fears that the facility could be subject to more attacks. The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza said an attack on the complex could paralyze the health system in the southern Gaza Strip.
The IDF said they had only targeted Hamas and other militants in the Gaza Strip and claimed that Hamas had deliberately hid behind civilians, which the IDF denied.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) say hospitals in central and southern Gaza are at "breakdown points" struggling to care for the influx of patients. Earlier this month, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said that Nasser Hospital was facing a steady stream of patients and was "now on the verge of collapse". Nasser Hospital is a hospital for many trauma and burn patients.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been questioned but have not commented on the recent shelling of the Nasser hospital building at this time.
