Mere hours after getting their polio vaccinations in in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip — as part of a children's immunization campaign — sisters Hanan Al-Daqqi and Misk Al-Daqqi were wounded in an Israeli airstrike on their home minutes after a humanitarian pause ended, leaving them as amputees.
Mere hours after getting their polio vaccinations in in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip — as part of a children's immunization campaign — sisters Hanan Al-Daqqi and Misk Al-Daqqi were wounded in an Israeli airstrike on their home minutes after a humanitarian pause ended, leaving them as amputees.Warning: Video shows graphic injuries to children.Hanan Al-Daqqi, 3, and Misk Al-Daqqi, 1, were left as amputees after being wounded in an Israeli airstrike on Sept.
"They are allowing for polio immunization but then not even hours later they find themselves without legs. What good is it that Netanyahu allowed for the immunization?" Misk Al-Daqqi, left, and Hanan Al-Daqqi, right. Both sisters were left as amputees after an Israeli strike hit their home in central Gaza on Sept. 3, just hours after they were immunized against polio during a brief humanitarian pause between Israel and Hamas.
Hanan Al-Daqqi's aunt says she was found in the neighbour's home as a result of the airstrike from Israel. But Hanan and Misk's aunt said she wonders if there's a point to a vaccination campaign to protect children from the virus, if bombing continues immediately after the pause in fighting ends. Their father, Mohammed Al-Daqqi, was wounded and required several amputations to his fingers. His sister said he remains in critical condition and will have to undergo several major surgeries.
"The biggest loss is their mother and their other loss is their legs," Al-Daqqi said tearfully, calling on other countries to intervene and help provide urgent medical attention and treatment for wounded children in Gaza.
