War criminal Israeli assassins are charged of the worst atrocities ever witnessed by our generation.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, told Al-Sharq on Wednesday that five premature babies died, after Israeli forces prevented doctors and their families from reaching them in the intensive care department at Al-Nasr Hospital.
Al-Qudra added in his statement that hospital doctors discovered the “decomposed” bodies of the five children.
The bodies of five premature Palestinian babies have reportedly been discovered in al-Nasr Hospital as reporters and aid workers sort through the remains of the bombed-out health facility during a truce in the Gaza Strip.
Journalists from Emirati TV channel Al-Mashhad discovered the decomposing remains of the children, who were not among those evacuated from the children's hospital after Israeli forces ordered patients and staff to leave on 10 November.
Hospital director Mustafa al-Kahlot said in a statement to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor that he sent an appeal to aid groups, including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), about the five children prior to their deaths but received no response.
The rights group called for the Israeli army to be "held accountable" for the deaths of the children and criticised the ICRC, who aided the evacuations from the hospital, for failing to help.
