An Israeli missile worsens the adversity of five disabled siblings

Najah Nabhan, the mother of five disabled Palestinian siblings, who were ordered by the Israeli army to leave their apartment before the residential building they live in was bombed by Israel in recent Israel-Gaza fighting, sits amid the rubble of the building in the northern Gaza Strip May 15, 2023.

When an Israeli missile struck the residential block of the Nabhan family in Gaza four days ago, no one was killed, but a family with five disabled members were among 45 people made homeless.

For the five siblings, three of whom are on wheel chairs and all five of whom suffer from physical disability, muscular dystrophy and convulsions, the misery was multiplied, as their wheelchairs, medicine, special beds and bathroom were buried under the rubble.
