"Israel’s" ongoing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip continues to devastate families, leaving children orphaned and parents grieving the loss of their children, according to a new report.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that "Israel’s" relentless bombardment of the besieged Palestinian territory “has wiped out extended families. It has left parents without children and children without parents, brothers or sisters.”

"I came to search for the remains of my son, who had gone ahead to the dawn prayer. Someone gave me a bag of 23 kilograms and said, 'This is your son; bury him.' As I carried him, I remembered a day when I was coming back with him from the market, carrying a heavy bag. He,… pic.twitter.com/AIZjOUcnJu

Some of the survivors are so young they will have no memory of the loved ones they lost, the report detailed.

In an airstrike on Monday near the southern city of Khan Younis, ten members of a single family were killed when their home was bombed by an Israeli airstrike.

"We found them in pieces, and we're still searching for the child's head," said Ahmad Abu Hasira after an Israeli airstrike struck his cousin's home in #Gaza City on Monday, August 12, as reported by Reuters.

Among the victims were the parents and five siblings, aged between 5 and 12.

According to the report, Reem Abu Hayyah, only three months old, was the sole survivor of the airstrike that claimed the lives of her entire family.

“There is no one left except this baby,” said her aunt, Soad Abu Hayyah as quoted by AP. “Since this morning, we have been trying to feed her formula, but she does not accept it, because she is used to her mother’s milk.”

'Israel' kills baby twins as father registered births

A few kilometers to the North, a father’s quest for birth certificates in a hospital in Gaza turned into a devastating tragedy as he found his newborn twins and their mother lifeless in the morgue. The mother, Dr. Jumana Farid Abu al-Qumsan, and her children Ail and Aysar Abu al-Qumsan were killed in an Israeli bombing in Deir al-Balah, just four days after the twins' birth.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that with the martyrdom of the twin infants Eisl and Aysar Abu al-Qumsan, who was born on August 9 and only lived for four days, the total number of newborn infants who were killed in the ongoing Israeli genocide against Gaza has risen to 115. These children only got the chance to live a very short scary life amid the ongoing genocide and then it was devastatingly cut short by the relentless Israeli bombardment and aggression.

Furthermore, the ongoing Israeli genocide has resulted in a significant number of orphans, so many that local doctors use the acronym WCNSF, meaning "wounded child, no surviving family," when documenting them. As of June, the United Nations estimated that around 17,000 children in Gaza were unaccompanied, and this figure is expected to have increased since then. 

Earlier this year, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) reported that "Israel" has killed over 14,000 children in Gaza since October 7, with others being starved to death due to malnutrition as a result of the total Israeli blockade.
