Anas is speaking with a hoarse voice, sleep-deprived after a tiring 24 hours of reporting Israeli strikes in North Gaza.

"*Every night, the occupation army commits massacres. Tonight, they targeted the inhabited home of the Morsi family. This is the hole left by the Israeli airstrike. The women are afraid and terrified. Paramedics are working on retrieving the victims.

This airstrike has shaken the Al-Alami area, in the vicinity of Kamal Adwan hospital. Civil Defense crews are working with their limited tools to pull a young man stuck in the rubble who calls out "Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs. By Allah, He will take retribution from. He is great(er than you)"

These are difficult and painful scenes.

As we were documenting, the paramedics found the body of a victim who was flung far.*"
