A 25-day-old baby was rescued from the rubble of an apartment building in Khan Younis, Gaza, after an airstrike killed her family. Rescuers heard her cries and quickly dug through the debris to find her alive. They wrapped her in a blanket and rushed her to paramedics, where she received medical attention. The girl's name is Ella Osama Abu Dagga. Her family members, including her parents and brother, did not survive the attack. Ella's grandparents are the only surviving relatives. The girl's grandmother, Fatima Abu Dagga, was emotional about the loss. She described the sudden return of war and how her family had been enjoying Ramadan together before the attack. Nabil Abu Dagga, a relative, witnessed the tragedy unfold as he helped rescue others. He found hope in the baby's cries amid the overwhelming loss. Airstrikes resumed in Khan Younis, breaking a recent ceasefire with Hamas. Israel claims the renewed violence is due to Hamas rejecting a new proposal regarding the ceasefire. Since the fighting resumed, nearly 600 people have died in Gaza, according to local health officials. The recent strike that hit the area destroyed Ella's home and killed at least 16 people, mostly women and children. The Israeli military stated it targets militants and holds Hamas responsible for civilian casualties due to their presence in residential areas. The conflict began earlier, resulting in thousands of deaths and numerous hostages. The situation in Gaza remains dire, with many people suffering from renewed violence and displacement.
