  • NO medical or rescue staff can work in such continued horrendous massacres.
  • It's certain that medical staff won't be able to do much for the victims due to the sheer number involved.

• Al-Tabiin is a religious muslim school for the study of Qur'an and Sharia: https://web.facebook.com/tabeenschool/?locale=ar_AR&_rdc=1&_rdr • During Fajr (dawn) prayer : between 5:15-5:30 am • Triple air strike, right as the prayer started (Takbirat al-Ihram) • +100 confirmed dead (13:40 GMT), 90% of all present for prayer • Survivors report this is one of the worst massacres: https://aje.io/x9tkr3?update=3110589 • Bodies torn to shreds; at least 15 too disfigured to identify: https://aje.io/x9tkr3?update=3110282 • Bodies burned to death: https://x.com/islambader1988/status/1822104766475866415 • Some blown far by explosion: https://x.com/islambader1988/status/1822238401334043125 • Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for Gaza Civil Defence: did not find a single body without limbs severed: https://aje.io/x9tkr3?update=3110797 • Confirmed reports indicate that some killed in the dawn attacks were survivors of previous attacks in various evacuation centres over the last 10 days.
