## Summary

Noura Sheikh al-Eid, a 54-year-old Palestinian woman from Gaza, was shot and killed while returning to her displacement tent after seeing her husband and daughter leave for medical treatment in Egypt. Her death matters amid reports of repeated Israeli fire near the “yellow line”, where civilians continue to travel and live.

Her husband, who has heart disease and diabetes, was travelling with their daughter Hiba, 18, who was registered as his medical companion and hoped to study medicine abroad. Noura’s daughter Rula said a donkey cart gave her mother a lift because she felt unwell; witnesses did not realise she had been shot until doctors found a bullet had entered beneath her jaw and exited behind her ear.
