A video made the rounds on social media, depicting a Palestinian man in distress, Muhammad Abu al-Qumsan, who returned with birth certificates for his twin babies, Aser and Aysel Abu Al-Qumsan, only to find them killed in an airstrike along with his wife, Jumana Abu al-Qumsan.
According to early reports, the new father had just left Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, when he received the daunting call to return to the hospital.
“The father was crying in so much pain while his Palestinian neighbours and friends tried to help him compose himself. As a new father, he must be experiencing so much heartache because their children did not get a chance at life and their days as a family were short-lived,” an analyst and researcher, Dr. Farhin Delawala, explained on VOC’s PM Drive show on Wednesday.
The mother of the children was still in the postpartum recovery phase, she explained and was unable to move or stand up because she had given birth via c-section delivery.
