“The family had been displaced from the north of Gaza and took shelter in Rafah. We will be relentless until those responsible [are] brought to justice,” Husam Zomlot said.

At least 28,663 people, mostly women and children, have been killed in Israel’s assault on Gaza, according to its health ministry, which is run by Hamas.
