Archivist Notes On This Video

AJ: 7h ago (09:50 GMT) Strike near Nuseirat mosque kills three people Our colleagues on the ground now report that Israel’s military has carried out an attack near one of the camp’s mosques, killing at least three people.

1h ago (18:20 GMT) We can now bring you more from Israel’s attack on Nuseirat refugee camp earlier today. Israeli bombs wiped out an entire residential building and killed displaced people sheltering in tents nearby. Outside a hospital morgue, a father mourned two of his children killed in the attack. He and his family had fled Gaza City in the hope of surviving this war. “We woke up to a loud explosion and found ourselves buried under the debris,” he said. “My son told me his brother, sister and mother had been killed. Zeina was the youngest. She was still breathing when I took her to the hospital. She asked how I was and then told me she was feeling cold. She had shrapnel in her stomach. Doctors tried to save her but she died this morning.”

1h ago (18:10 GMT) Israeli attacks on Nuseirat kills 10 of a family Earlier today, 10 members of the same family were among Palestinians killed in an Israeli attack on Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Israeli bombs wiped out an entire residential building and killed displaced people sheltering in tents nearby. Survivors say no warnings were given. Doaa Abu Hamada was one of those who survived the air strike. But her only child did not. Her daughter was killed alongside nine other members of her family. “We were sleeping, crammed inside the tent. All of a sudden, it all seemed like Doom’s Day,” Abu Hamada said. “My husband, daughter and sister-in-law were killed. All my family were killed. All of them. I am left with no one, with nothing. “We woke up to an earthquake, to hear screams and I saw bodies everywhere. I do not know why the Israelis are doing this to us? They were innocent children sleeping in peace.”
