Archivist Notes On This Video

Anas is reporting from the ruins of the Azzm family house. He interviews survivors from the family.

  • Man: "Firstly we praise God for what happened to us. We were just at home minding our business baking bread and preparing food with our mother when a treacherous rocket fell on us. Our only crime was that we were preparing food and trying to feed our children. Our father Azmi Ahmed Azzam, mother Nadia Muhammad Azzam, three siblings, and grandchildren and some displaced persons who used to come here to prepare their food at the oven were all martyred."

Anas documents body parts strewn about the scene including the severed foot of a man, reporting that there was another one of a child. Civil Defense crews are seen during their search efforts and consoling a boy who survived the attack. The boy, sobbing in grief, describes how the his father lost his feet, and his grandparents killed suddenly while they were simply baking bread.
