Israeli snipers shot and killed two brothers as they crawled towards a hospital in Gaza seeking medical help, a harrowing new investigation has found.

Husam, 27 and Saad al-Aweini, 22, were carrying their wounded brother Abdullah towards Nasser Hospital when they were shot at multiple times by Israeli forces who were laying siege to the southern city of Khan Younis.

Abdullah, 29, had earlier been injured by a missile strike on his home while gathering clothes for his wife and son. All three of the brothers were left to bleed to death on the ground for days as gunfire rang out around them.

The incident has been brought to light by an investigation by human rights organisation Euro-Med Monitor, which says the targeting of the family constitutes a possible war crime.
