NPR  

A grim milestone: More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza Gaza health officials say the death toll of Palestinians killed in the war has topped 40,000. NPR's Hadeel Al-Shalchi and NPR producer Anas Baba bring us this story of four lives taken in an Israeli strike, including newborn twins. AL-SHALCHI: Just four days after Jumana gives birth, Abu Al-Qumsan shrieks in a hospital where his new family is wrapped in white cloth ready for burial. Abu Al-Qumsan's wife and their twins are only three of the 40,005 Palestinians who health officials say have been killed in the war in Gaza since October.
