Archivist Notes On This Video

Translation of caption: "Rescue crews pull out the boy Mohammed Hamduna and his family members from under the rubble of their home in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip."

Footage shows a remarkably brave young boy, trapped under a concrete slab. He is alert and calm, talking to his rescuers as they work - despite the flying sparks and loud noise from the tools. Civil Defense personnel are shown cushioning and protecting his head, and holding his hand where it sticks out from the other side of the slab. A large crowd of concerned onlookers light the scene with cell phone flashlights and try to help remove the rubble and search for survivors.

Per Civil Defense: 3 people were killed and others wounded when Israel shelled a house belonging to the Abu Areiban family, which housed displaced persons from the Hamduna family, adjacent to the Al-Taqwa Mosque, Camp 1, Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip."

Their names:

  • Ismail Hamduna
  • Mrs. Thuraya Al-Saadi
  • Marah Alaa Al-Sulay "Hamduna"
