NINE children of a doctor were among 79 people to die in an Israeli air strike.
Dr Alaa al-Najjar’s only surviving youngster — an 11-year-old lad — was last night fighting for life along with his dad in Gaza.

The paediatric department head ran to the blazing rubble of her home to find that her nine children — aged from seven months to 12 — had been killed.
British surgeon Graeme Groom operated on her surviving lad, Adam, who is in a critical condition.
Dr al-Najjar’s husband, Hamdi, also a doctor, suffered a serious head wound in Friday’s strike in the city of Khan Younis.
Mr Groom said it was “unbearably cruel” that a mother who spent years caring for children should lose almost all her own in one strike.
He added: “Our little boy could survive but we don’t know about his father.”
Israel’s military said it blitzed suspects operating from a building near the hospital and hit 100 targets in all.
