Karam, 12, and his sister Judy, 10, killed by a shell that hit their home in Gaza City

The Israeli move to fully occupy Gaza City is in the news, but earlier attacks also devastated families. 

On July 5, a shell hit the home of 12-year-old Karam and 10-year Judy in the city’s al Zeitoun neighborhood, killing them both. 

Their eight-year-old sister, Retal, was seriously injured. Retal has undergone nine abdominal surgeries since then, but they haven't relieved her suffering, UNICEF USA reports.  

For two months now, Retal has been waiting for Israeli authorities to allow her to be medically evacuated so she can receive the treatment she needs.
