### Tragic Fate: Sole Survivor of Israeli Air Strike Evacuated for Treatment in Italy

In a heart-wrenching event, Adam al-Najjar, the lone survivor of an air strike that claimed the lives of his entire family in Gaza last month, is embarking on a journey to Italy for essential medical treatment. Together with his mother, Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, the duo is flying to Milan, as announced by Italy's foreign ministry. The tragic event occurred on May 23 when their home in Khan Younis was hit, leaving the family shattered; Adam's father, Dr. Hamdi al-Najjar, had only just dropped off Alaa at her workplace before the strike took place.

Following the incident, Adam was admitted to a local hospital with severe injuries, including a fracturing in his left arm. His condition was reportedly stable but critical enough to necessitate international evacuation. The Italian government has been facilitating medical evacuations for Palestinian patients, with Adam's transport marking the 150th such operation. As the strike's aftermath continues to ripple through families in Gaza, the horrors faced by Adam and Alaa serve as poignant reminders of the conflict's human toll.

The ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, intensified by a military response to Hamas’s attack on October 7, has resulted in substantial casualties, with Gaza's health ministry reporting over 54,981 deaths. While the IDF maintains they act to protect civilians, the tragic fate of the al-Najjar family highlights a grim reality of war's indiscriminate scars.
