DN! Gaza Family Sues Israeli Government

DN! Gaza Family Sues Israeli Government:

"Gaza Family Sues Israeli Government

In Israel and the Occupied Territories, a Palestinian family that lost twenty-nine relatives in the Israeli attack on Gaza has filed a $200 million lawsuit against the Israeli government. The ordeal of the Samouni family drew international attention after it was revealed Israeli forces shelled their homes and then blocked medical aid. In addition to the twenty-nine dead, another forty-five relatives were injured, most of them children. Family member Naela Samouni described her familys ordeal.

*Naela Samouni: "My mother-in-law died, my sister-in-law and her daughter and two more people. The majority of my family died in the home that I am standing in now. Of course, were going to file a lawsuit against them."

The surviving members of the Samouni family now live in the rubble of their destroyed homes."
