'A rocket fell on us': Girl, 10, fighting for her life after strike on children in Gaza | ITV News

Warning: This report by ITV News Correspondent Debi Edward contains images some viewers may find distressing

In the intensive care unit at the Nasser Hospital in Gaza, our cameraman filmed ten-year-old Lyan lying unconscious after several surgeries to remove shrapnel from her body.

Her aunt was stroking her head, praying and repeating the words ‘’May God save you."

ITV News previously reported the moment when Lyan and three other girls were rushed into the hospital after a drone strike on their tent in Khan Younis.

The rest were discharged with minor injuries, but Lyan had internal bleeding and extensive blast wounds to her head, chest and legs.

Her father is fighting for his life elsewhere in the hospital; she has already lost her mother, brother, sister and grandparents since the start of the war.

The United Nations human rights monitor accused Israel of Genocide – as a disturbing leaked video appeared to show private security guards shooting at food queues.
