Palestinian Mahmoud Mikdad mourns as holding the body of his 21-month-old child Yaman, killed in the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, at a hospital morgue in Deir al-Balah, Tuesday, July 16, 2024. DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — The dead Palestinian toddler’s limbs were pale and cold despite the sweltering summer heat in Gaza . Outside the hospital, his father cradled the boy in his arms, unable or unwilling to say goodbye. Flies circled and landed in the child’s soft hair.
His son, Yaman, was killed by an Israeli airstrike. Israeli strikes killed more than 60 Palestinians in southern and central Gaza from Monday night into Tuesday, according to hospital records and health officials.
