British surgeons Graeme Groom and Victoria Rose,who travelled to Gaza were the ones who operated on the boy.

Dr Groom said in a video on Instagram: ‘Nine of his brothers and sisters were killed. And his father was badly injured.’

He described it as an ‘unimaginable’ situation for Dr Al-Najjar.

After some speculation that Israel may have been targeting the father,Dr Groom stressed that he had been told he had ‘no political and no military connections and doesn’t seem to be prominent on social media’.

‘Yet,his poor wife is the only uninjured one,who has the prospect of losing her husband,and has already lost nine of her children,’ he added.

‘They are absolutely charcoal’

Dr Rose,who was sent a video of rescue services going inside the bombed house,said the family lived opposite a petrol station.

‘So,I don’t know if the bomb set off some massive fire,’ she explained.
