translation of the caption : "One of the last tasks undertaken by dear @eman_shanti was to collect a large quantity of medicines that she was able to obtain from one of the company’s warehouses, the owners of which were difficult to reach. It provided dozens of patients in northern Gaza with the medications BACLOFEN, MEGAPENTIN, and BACLOFLAM. May God have mercy on her and her family and place him in the balance of her good deeds."

At midday, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Malash residential building in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City.

The whole family of journalist Eman Al-Shanti (Abed), was killed: herself, her husband and three of their four children. Only their 13 year-old daughter Banan survived, but with serious injuries.

Israeli drones prevented rescuers and journalists from reaching the house as they were hovering over the area. Journalist Hossam Shabat testified that drones dropped a bomb on locals who were trying to reach the victims, and remained there when paramedics arrived.

Names of the martyrs:

1. Eman Hatem Al-Shanti "Abed" (journalist)
2. Helmi Abed (Iman's husband)
3. Alma Abed (daughter)
4. Omar Abed (son)
5. Bilal Abed (son)

Eman's dying wish: "If I die, they must kill me with this weapon. I don't want to end as a corpse under the rubble and have my family suffer to find me. Not as a corpse thrown in the street for dogs and cats to eat. Not as corpse in a shroud. I don't want there photographers taking pictures of the body disrespecting the privacy of the dead. What else... The important thing is that you die evaporated; that’s the best and the most preferable option."

December 18, 2024: a healthcare worker tending to Banan recounts how she under excruciating pain when her dressings have to be changed, as the hospitals continue lacking anesthetics due to Israel's deliberate blockade on those and other medical supplises. Banan is still unaware that her whole family was killed.
