'Drone followed Gaza colleague home and wiped out his family', says British doctor

A British doctor who has just returned from Gaza says a drone followed her colleague home where it wiped out his family.

Nada Al Hadithy also told Sky News presenter Matt Barbet. how one of her patients, a 21-year-old woman who was six months pregnant, lost her baby after she was "blown up in her tent".

"Her husband was killed, she lost her eye, she had an open fracture, and both her legs were completely destroyed from the bomb blast," "This woman is completely emaciated, with no vitamins, no food. And one day her baby stopped moving." It comes after Donald Trump's Middle East envoy visited a food distribution site in Gaza.

Steve Witkoff and the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, toured a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution site in the southern city of Rafah on Friday. The Israeli-backed American contractor's efforts to deliver food to the region have been mired in violence and controversy, with hundreds killed by Israeli fire while walking to such aid sites since May, according to eyewitnesses, health officials and the UN human rights office.

Israel's military says it has only fired warning shots at people who approached its forces, while GHF said its armed contractors have only fired warning shots to prevent deadly crowding. Ms Hadithy said the situation in Gaza is "absolutely desperate" and a school classroom's worth of children "are dying every single day".

She said there was "a tangible difference in the amount of starvation and the emaciation of our patients" during the three weeks she was in Gaza, adding: "Even the severity of and relentlessness of the bombings was worse. "It was mass casualty after mass casualty, with people being blown up in their tents, which were meant to be in green zones.

The situation was catastrophic." She said one colleague - who she described as "patient, joyful and hardworking" - was followed home one day by a quadcopter drone, according to eyewitness testimony from fellow medical workers. The drone "didn't kill him on the route where he was on his own, it waited until he was in his tent and greeted his three children and killed all of them.
