A Belfast-born man speaks of his grief after his wife, mother and brother are killed in Gaza. "The exact day she [arrived] in my family's place they bombed the place," Mr El-Estal said. The bomb killed his mother and brother "immediately", he added. He continued that his uncle, and his uncle's two daughters - both doctors - were also killed in the blast, and both of Khalid's children were buried in rubble.

Well the world had decided that Israel has carte blanche to commit war crimes so he should be glad that he at least didn't have kids, cuz they be bombed into pieces too.

He does have kids!

Mr El-Estal said he had "lost everything" but is hoping his two young children can join him in Dublin.
"I want to take them out, I want word from the government. They are Irish," he told Irish broadcaster RTÉ on Friday.
His children, aged one and four, remain in Gaza with their grandparents, he said.

both of Khalid's children were buried in rubble.

Really hope they make it. Hope everyone makes it.
