Two Palestinian sisters have been reunited in Rafah, in southern Gaza.
Julia, an 18-month-old toddler, was pulled from the rubble of a destroyed building and rushed to El-Najar Hospital.
Her sister, five-year-old Joury, was also rescued from the rubble and was already there, being treated for her injuries.
“My sister, my beloved,” Joury cried the moment she realised her sister had survived.
The two were with their family eating lunch when the building next to theirs was bombed, destroying the house they were in, the girls’ uncle said.
The girls were treated for head injuries and were left scared and traumatised, their uncle added. They later left the hospital with their family.
