‘We’ve a funeral every 15 minutes’: Aftermath of Israeli ‘massacre’ in Gaza
Al Jazeera
Israeli air strikes on the al-Mawasi camp in southern Gaza have killed at least 90 people and wounded 300 others.
An Israeli strike has killed at least 90 Palestinians in the al-Mawasi camp in southern Gaza, the enclave’s Ministry of Health said, an attack that has drawn global condemnation.
Displaced people sheltering in the area, which was designated as a “safe zone” by Israel, described the attack as a “horrific massacre”, adding that their tents were torn down by the force of the strike and bodies and body parts strewn on the ground.
The Medical Aid for Palestinians charity published a video of Palestinians digging by hand to recover those buried in the sand following the Israeli attack.
“I don’t know what to say, the situation is a tragedy. I am not exaggerating, we have a funeral every 15 minutes leaving the hospital. This has been ongoing since the incident. One by one, people are getting killed,” said Mohammed Aghaalkurdi, a member of the charity at Nasser Hospital.
The al-Mawasi attack comes days after Israel killed dozens in Gaza City and its surrounding areas after ordering the entire population in the northern city to leave. Witnesses have told Al Jazeera that the Shujayea neighbourhood of Gaza City has been “wiped out” in the Israeli strikes.
