Palestinians in central Gaza refugee camp struggle to pull their loved ones from under the rubble amid mass destruction.
Central Gaza Strip – Palestinians in Gaza’s smallest refugee camp have once again found themselves digging the bodies of their relatives out from under rubble, hours after Israeli forces announced their withdrawal from the area.
Witnesses in the Maghazi refugee camp say many of the residents were shot at close range by Israeli soldiers “in cold blood”.
Piles of broken concrete and scenes of widespread destruction are evidence that homes were not spared in Israeli attacks, which included missile strikes and heavy artillery shelling.
Israeli soldiers have been conducting ground operations in northern, central, and parts of southern Gaza, for more than three months.
Maghazi camp has come under Israeli attack several times over the last few weeks.
