Israel’s Nuseirat massacre and Gaza’s wounds that won’t heal
Al Jazeera
Survivors of the June 8 massacre recount the Israeli attack, and the feeling that much of the world doesn’t care.
Deir el-Balah, Gaza – The two weeks that have passed since the June 8 Nuseirat massacre, when Israeli forces killed at least 274 Palestinians to free four Israeli captives, have not brought any healing to the survivors.
More than 500 more Palestinians were injured in the attack, filling Deir el-Balah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, with every inch of the floors covered with people in pain bleeding and screaming.
Many of the injured still lie at the hospital. Here are some of their stories.
Raghad al-Assar, a 12-year-old girl, lay motionless with her head bandaged.
She was struck in the Israeli bombardment that targeted her home during the massacre. Her father Mohammad, 46, stood near her, barely able to talk. Two of his daughters were killed in the massacre, and his wife and another daughter, Rahaf, are in critical condition in intensive care.
