"Ahmed is bleeding in front of us and dying"... An appeal from families trapped under the rubble after the occupation bombed homes east of Khan Younis and prevented ambulance crews from reaching them

A man is conversing with a relative who's trapped at home with her injured relatives. She's relaying the messages and trying to comfort the injured person (probably a child, judging by the tone)

"*Let's stay in touch, and incha'Allah the ambulance will reach you. So just reassure them, they'll be alright. Try to find a way to close the wounds (stop the bleeding). God please make everything alright. Tell Ahmed he'll be fine, he'll live, God willing.

-Ahmed is asking to call for help

-Tell him that we're really, really conatcting the emergency services.

-They called them ya Ahmad. Here, I'll lie next to you (Silence)

-Ok I'm gonna hang up so you can save your phone battery* (hesitatingly hangs up)
