An intense barrage of Israeli missiles were fired into Um Alnsar Village, also known as Al Badawiya village, in Northern Gaza. Three missiles penetrated the walls of the Nassar Abu Fares family home, whilst reportedly 25 people were in the living room celebrating Eid al-Fitr, killing at least seven civilians and injuring at least twelve according to multiple sources.
According to several sources, those killed in the attack included; 27 year old Sabreen Nasser Mohammed Abu Dayyeh, her nine month old son Muhammad Salama Abu Dayyeh, and her sisters 25 year old Nisreen Naser Mohammed Abu Qleeq and 17 year old Fawzia Nasser Abu Fares. According to additional sources, a 47 year old woman named Nima Saleh Salama Ayyash was killed in the attack, as well as a 20 year old man named Hashim Mohammed ‘Ayed al-Zugheibi. A number of sources also reported that a woman named Nasreen Nasser Abu Fares was killed, however they did not provide an age, therefore it cannot be ruled out that this is an alternative name for 25 year old Nisreen Naser Mohammed Abu Qleeq.
Palestinian Centre for Human Rights claimed that 25 civilians were injured. Another local source claimed that 15 civilians were injured, whilst another source named some of those injured as; Hussein Muhammad Abu Qaliq who sustained shrapnel injuries to his neck, arm and back, Dia Muhammed Abu Qaliq, Mujahid Hussein Abu Qaliq, Hazem Muhammad Al-Zughaibi, Yazan Hazem Al-Zoughaibi, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz Ishtiwi, and Israa Nasser Abu Fares. Another source reported that two of those injured were children of the Abu Fares Family, named as six year old Hamza and five year old Malak.
B’Tselem provided testimony from Naser Abu Fares, 50, father of 12, who lost three daughters and a grandson in the incident: “On Thursday, 13 May 2021, at around 6:30 P.M., I was sitting at my neighbors’ when suddenly, I heard two shells fall. I didn’t know where they’d landed, but I saw smoke billowing out of my first house. I ran over there quickly with my friends, but before we even got there, a third shell landed right next to us. I went inside the house, but it was full of smoke and dust so I couldn’t see who was hurt. I heard my neighbors say a shell had also landed on the home of our neighbors, the ‘Ayash family. They said Ni’mah ‘Ayash had been killed and that another shell had landed on the street and hit a resident named Hashem a-Zgheibi. I continued searching the house. I found my daughters. Some of them were dismembered. My sons were wounded and there was blood everywhere. When I saw that, I blacked out for a few minutes. The neighbors woke me up, and then I found out that my daughters Sabrin, 27, Nisrin and Fawzeyeh, as well as Sabrin’s nine-month-old son Muhammad Abu Diyah, had been killed. Sabrin doesn’t live with us. She’s married and lives with her husband, but she was visiting us that day. An ambulance came and took everyone to the Indonesian Hospital. I followed them in my car, which had also been damaged in the shelling. On the way, I saw people evacuating their homes because of the shelling and fleeing the area. I barely made it to the hospital. I had to identify my daughters. I asked a doctor where they were, and he led me to a refrigerator to identify them. I searched among the dismembered body parts and clothes in the fridge. A forensic doctor who came there arranged the body parts so I could identify them. It was unbearable. I couldn’t take it, especially when he laid their parts out next to each other so I could identify my daughters and the baby. We buried them the next day, with some relatives and friends in attendance. It wasn’t a regular funeral because everyone was anxious about the airstrikes. It was scary. The bombings didn’t stop. My daughter Israa didn’t come because she was in hospital. She’s still in the ICU. She’s injured in the chest, head, back and leg. From the hospital, I went with the rest of my family to al-Khalifah School in Beit Lahiya. Our house was in ruins. We had nowhere to go back to, and we were also afraid to go back there. We can’t bear to look at the walls, either. They still have traces of blood and bits of flesh on them. We had a rough time at the school. There was no food or drink, and there were no mattresses. The situation was bad and we couldn’t buy food or drink. We didn’t have any extra clothes, either. The war ended on Friday, and then I rented another house and my family moved there. I never thought something like this would happen to me, that I’d lose my daughters like that.”
Isma’il ‘Ayash al-Khatib, 50, Ni’amah’s brother, also provided testimony: “On Thursday, 13 May 2021, at around 6:30 P.M., I was in my apartment with my mother Hamdiya, 75, my sister Ni’mah, 47, and my married sister Sarah, who was visiting my mother for the holiday. Our neighbors Jamileh a-Zgheibi and her daughter-in-law were at our place, too. They were all sitting in the garden and I was inside. It was the first day of ‘Eid al-Fitr. Suddenly, I heard a series of explosions and saw smoke, dust and flames. I heard screaming and windows shattering. I ran to the garden to see if my mother and sisters were okay, and saw debris on the staircase. I thought it might have been a warning missile, so I got everyone inside quickly. My sister Ni’mah went into my apartment and up the stairs to the first floor. My sister Sarah, the neighbor Jamileh and her daughter-in-law went into my apartment, and I helped my mother come in there, too. Just then, I heard three more explosions in a row. I grabbed some personal documents and we ran out of the house, which collapsed. I went out to the street and saw it was full of rubble and lumps of concrete. I heard screaming and crying and saw injured people lying on the ground. The street was in ruins. It was full of blood and dust and smoke. It was an unbearable sight. There were also ambulances and rescue teams. I ran away, supporting my mother. We walked about a hundred meters until we got to the ambulances. They couldn’t reach the entrance to our house. My mother, my wife and I were taken to the Indonesian Hospital. I didn’t see my sister Ni’mah, and didn’t know what had happened to her. I assumed she’d made it out. I saw my sister Sarah and our neighbor Jamileh and her daughter-in-law running away. I saw that Naser Abu Fares’ house next door was completely destroyed. I saw people trying to extract bodies from the ruins. At the hospital, I looked for my sister Ni’mah. I searched the wards and after an hour and a half, I found her in the refrigerator. She had been killed by shrapnel in the stairwell. I heard Hashem a-Zgheibi, who had been hit by shrapnel from a shell that landed by our front door, was also dead. Later, I heard Naser Abu Fares had lost three of his daughters and his grandson.”
One source reported that in the past Israeli military had warned residents in rural areas to evacuate before operations, but that in this case they were given no warning. According to one source more than 5,000 people, approximately half of whom children, were sheltering in the UNRWA run school located in Beit Lahia´s Mashrou’ neighborhood, the majority of whom were displaced from Umm An-Naser village on May 13 due to the intense barrage of Israeli missiles.
Multiple sources placed the time of the incident at either 6.15pm or 6.30pm.
In a report published on July 11, 2023, Haaretz revealed that more than two years after the “Guardian of the Walls” operation in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reprimanded several commanders over three incidents that occurred during the conflict.
According to Haaretz’s investigation, at least one of these incidents resulted in the deaths of six Palestinian civilians who were not involved in the fighting. The cases were reportedly examined by Maj. Gen. Eliezer Toledano, then head of the Southern Command.
The IDF stated that one colonel was reprimanded for approving mortar fire that deviated from authorized safety ranges. Another colonel was also reprimanded for failing to report these deviations to superiors.
The result of this artillery strike is this incident of civilian harm, documented by Airwars, in which those killed include three of Nasser Abu Fares’ children, one of his grandchildren, and two of his neighbours. Speaking with Haaretz, Abu Fares described hearing multiple shells land near his home, with the final strike hitting as he approached, leaving several victims dead or severely wounded.
In response to the IDF’s reporting, the IDF said the incident in which members of Abu Fares’ family were killed was reviewed and that “professional lessons” had been learned and incorporated into the 215th firing brigade. A later statement clarified that the reprimanded colonel’s actions involved firing shells outside permitted rules during operations on the outskirts of Gaza City, and that further administrative proceedings would be taken against another officer.
Due to the Israeli military responding to Haaretz’s inquiries as to the penalty to the participating commanders, Airwars has updated this incident’s ‘strike status’ to ‘declared’ and ‘civilian harm status’ to ‘confirmed.’

Israeli Military Strike Report
More than two years after the "Guardian of the Walls" operation in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces issued reprimands to commanders in response to "three events during the operation," an IDF spokesman said.
The laconic announcement did not elaborate on the events in question. It just stated that five unnamed officers were involved in events during which "military targets were attacked in deviation from standard procedures."
Inquiry by Haaretz found that in at least one of these events, six "uninvolved" Palestinian noncombatants, as the army phrases it, were killed during the operation. Based on the army announcement, it seems the events were investigated by the outgoing commander of the Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Eliezer Toledano.
Regarding the six deaths, the announcement said, "An officer ranked colonel received an army reprimand for approving mortar attacks on targets in deviation from [authorized] safe ranges." Aside from the colonel, whose name was not revealed, another colonel who "failed to warn his commanders about deviation from safe ranges" was also reprimanded.
According to the IDF announcement, "the inquiry did not find an association between the deviation from standard procedures and the deaths of the uninvolved persons," but this "deviation from safe ranges" caused the deaths of a 9-month-old baby, a 17-year-old girl, three women and one man. After Haaretz inquired, the IDF confirmed this was the event in question.
The event in question happened on May 13, 2021, but details were not revealed to the public at the time, even though the IDF knew the six had been killed in Israeli army attacks without being warned prior. It is customary during combat in Gaza that the IDF sends messages warning residents of an impending attack. Two and a half months later, Haaretz revealed that the attack had been carried out by an artillery unit in the course of a subterfuge preceding the destruction of tunnels Hamas had dug in northern Gaza.

To the north of Gaza’s Beit Lahia, before the border wall with Israel is reached, lies an area of agricultural land and villages that curls around the tip of the coastal strip. In times of conflict, its fields and scattered houses are a very dangerous place.Close to one of the main entry points used for invading by Israeli forces, and vulnerable to bombs and artillery, it is also used as a line of defence by Gaza’s militant fighters.Hussein Abu Qleeq, who lives in a Bedouin village close to the border, was in his three-storey home when it was hit. “I was sitting with my family,” the 30-year-old told the Guardian in the Shifa hospital in Gaza city.“Suddenly, there was a sound of intense artillery shelling on the border. I didn’t expect it to hit the houses. Children started screaming. Then a shell came into our house.”Hussein was hit by shrapnel in his neck, arm and back. “It was a terrifying atmosphere. You can’t imagine it. We have lived through three wars and this is the first time this bombing has happened in such a sudden, violent way.”In the past, as those like Hussein know from personal experience, the Israeli military has warned residents of such outlying rural areas to vacate their homes before operations.But this time, they suggest, no warning was given by the Israeli military as it hit what it said were tunnels used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad in a bombardment that turned the night sky orange with huge fireballs.Jonathan Conricus, an Israeli military spokesman, said Israeli forces took care with their targets but were not always able to warn residents. “As always, the aim is to strike military targets and to minimise collateral damage and civilian casualties,” Conricus said, according to the Associated Press. “Unlike our very elaborate efforts to clear civilian areas before we strike high-rise or large buildings inside Gaza, that wasn’t feasible this time.”Taher al-Kafarneh, 68, who lives in the border area near the neighbouring town of Beit Hanoun, tells a similar story to Hussein Abu Qleeq.“When the violence started to escalate, I moved with my 15 sons, my two wives and my grandchildren to my daughter’s house in the centre of Beit Hanoun, into one house consisting of three floors, with about 150 people [sheltering].“At about midnight, the intense bombardment began with rockets from each side in addition to artillery, and the street was bombed with violent and continuous missiles. A shell from a plane or artillery … I don’t know … hit the last floor of the house, in which some of my children and their children stayed, and the electricity of the house was cut off.“Everyone was screaming. About 40 to 50 people from the house were injured from the bombing, and we escaped on foot, until ambulances arrived. Even then they could not reach the house because of bombing in the street. So people started carrying the injured.”By Friday morning, Palestinians living on Gaza’s northern and eastern fringes with Israel were fleeing towards more heavily built-up areas in the Strip’s centre, escaping the intense artillery bombardment and fearing new barrages.Families arrived at the UN-run schools in the city – used in wartime to house those escaping or whose houses have been destroyed – in pickup trucks, on donkeys and by foot, hauling pillows and pans, blankets and bread.“We were planning to leave our homes at night, but Israeli jets bombarded us so we had to wait until the morning,” said Hedaia Maarouf, who fled with her extended family of 19 people, including 13 children. “We were terrified for our children, who were screaming and shaking.”The main hospitals serving the north and centre have also seen a steady influx of dead and injured from these areas as Israel’s military campaign has moved from one of almost constant airstrikes against Hamas and Islamic Jihad towards artillery fire – which many fear may herald a ground invasion.Already struggling with the coronavirus pandemic, hospitals across the crowded coastal enclave are reallocating intensive care beds and scrambling to keep up with a very different health crisis: treating blast and shrapnel wounds, bandaging cuts and performing amputations.Distraught relatives didn’t wait for ambulances, rushing the wounded by car or on foot to Shifa hospital, the territory’s largest. Exhausted doctors hurried from patient to patient, frantically bandaging shrapnel wounds to stop the bleeding. Others gathered at the hospital morgue, waiting with stretchers to remove the bodies for burial.“Before the military attacks, we had major shortages and could barely manage with the second [virus] wave,” said Gaza health ministry official Abdelatif al-Hajj by phone, as bombs thundered in the background. “Now casualties are coming from all directions, really critical casualties. I fear a total collapse.”Nurses at the European hospital in the southern town of Khan Younis, frantically searching for room for the wounded, moved dozens of virus patients in the middle of the night to a different building, said hospital director Yousef al-Akkad. Its surgeons and specialists, who had been deployed elsewhere for the virus, rushed back to treat head injuries, fractures and abdominal wounds.If the conflict intensifies, the hospital will not be able to care for virus patients, al-Akkad said.“We have only 15 intensive care beds, and all I can do is pray,” he said, adding that because the hospital lacks surgical supplies and expertise, he has already arranged to send one child to Egypt for reconstructive shoulder surgery.“I pray these airstrikes will stop soon.”Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this article

Jafra News - Jafra News - Medical and civil defense teams recovered the bodies of four martyrs and a large number of wounded following an Israeli artillery bombardment of a Bedouin village in the northern Gaza Strip.
Palestinian sources stated that Israeli forces shelled civilian homes in the Bedouin village with numerous artillery shells, resulting in the martyrdom of at least four people and injuries to others.
Civil defense teams also recovered the body of a child earlier today from the site of the Israeli shelling last night in Sheikh Zayed, in the northern Gaza Strip.

Ramallah, May 14, 2021—Israeli military aerial and ground attacks killed at least 15 Palestinian children over the past two days, bringing the total number of Palestinian children killed in the Gaza Strip to 32 since hostilities escalated on Monday afternoon.
Mahmoud Hamed Hasan Tolbeh, 12, succumbed to his injuries two days after he was critically wounded by shrapnel from a missile that was fired by an Israeli warplane in southeastern Gaza City. Mahmoud was leaving the barbershop on Salah al-Din Street in Gaza City’s Shaafout neighborhood around 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday evening when he was struck in the head with shrapnel from the blast.
Mahmoud was admitted to Shifa hospital’s intensive care unit in critical condition shortly after the May 12 attack and died from his wounds early Friday morning, according to documentation collected by Defense for Children International - Palestine. Another child, Yahya Mazen Shehada Khalifa, died instantly in the same attack, as previously reported by DCIP.
An Israeli airstrike killed four Palestinian children and their parents early Thursday morning in the northern Gaza Strip. Israeli warplanes fired at least 20 missiles at a densely populated residential neighborhood on Beit Lahiya’s Main Street shortly after 1 a.m., according to documentation collected by DCIP. The Israeli attack killed Amir Rafat Mohammad Tanani, 6; Adham Rafat Mohammad Tanani, 4; Ismail Rafat Mohammad Tanani, 7; Mohammad Rafat Mohammad Tanani, 2, as well as the boys’ parents, Rafat and Rawya. The family’s bodies were discovered by search and rescue personnel around 7:30 p.m. A seventh family member remains missing. Two additional adults were killed in the aerial assault, and 33 others, including 10 children, were wounded, according to information collected by DCIP.
An Israeli drone-fired missile killed 17-year-old Khaled Imad Khaled Qanou on May 13 around 12:40 p.m. near the Gaza perimeter fence in North Gaza’s Izbat Beit Hanoun, according to documentation collected by DCIP. An Israeli weaponized aerial drone targeted Khaled, firing at least one missile killing him on the spot near the Nada residential towers, which overlook the Gaza perimeter fence. Khaled was allegedly a member of a Palestinian armed group, according to initial information collected by DCIP. It is not clear if he was actively involved in hostilities at the time he was targeted. A number of bystanders were wounded in the attack and taken to the nearby Indonesian hospital.
Ahmad Rami Mahmoud al-Hawajri, 13, was returning home from the grocery store around 3:20 p.m. when the Israeli fighter jet targeted a residential building in the heart of the densely populated Al-Bureij refugee camp in Central Gaza on May 13, according to documentation gathered by DCIP. Ahmad was killed in the attack. He was struck in the head with shrapnel and sustained burns all over his body.
A separate Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Al-Bureij refugee camp killed 13-year-old Lina Mohammad Mahmoud Issa on Thursday afternoon. An Israeli warplane attacked the home of Mohammad Issa, 42, around 4:45 p.m. Lina was killed along with her mother, Manar, and their home was completely destroyed. Three other civilians were also wounded and transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital, according to documentation collected by DCIP.
Israeli forces killed 17-year-old Fawziya Nasser Mohammad Abu Faris and her nine-month-old nephew, Mohammad Salameh Mohammad Abu Dayyeh, in Umm An-Naser village, also known as Al-Qaraya Al-Badawiya, in the northern Gaza Strip late on May 13. Around 6:15 p.m., three Israeli-fired artillery shells struck the Nasser Abu Faris' one-story house, killing Fawziya and Mohammad, as well as Fawziya’s adult sisters, Nisreen and Sabreen.
The family had gathered to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, and around 25 people were in the living room when the Israeli artillery attack occurred. Fawziya and her sisters were dismembered, and shrapnel struck Mohammad in the head. All four were killed on the spot. A number of family members were also wounded in the incident, including six-year-old Hamzi and five-year-old Malak who were moderately injured.
The family and other residents of Umm Al-Naser took refuge after the attack in a UNRWA school in Mashrou' Beit Lahiya due to the ongoing heavy Israeli artillery shelling.
Israeli missiles killed two children in two separate attacks on the evening of May 13 in the southern Gaza Strip. Around 7:45 p.m., an Israeli warplane attacked Jamal al-Zamli’s two-story home in the Tanour neighborhood of Rafah, killing two-year-old Hoor Momen Jamal al-Zamli and her mother Khuloud, who was five months pregnant, according to information gathered by DCIP. There was no warning prior to the blast which destroyed the home and injured seven others, including three children. The wounded were transported to Abu Yousef Al-Najjar hospital for treatment.
In another attack late on May 13, an Israeli airstrike killed six-month-old Ibrahim Mohammad Ibrahim al-Rantisi. An Israeli warplane fired a missile at a three-story home in the Jnaineh neighborhood of Rafah shortly before 8:30 p.m., according to documentation collected by DCIP. The attack also killed Ibrahim’s grandmother, uncle, and aunt and injured 15 others, including 7 children.
Israeli aerial attacks killed three children early on May 14 in North Gaza. Shortly after midnight, Israeli warplanes launched a barrage of attacks, striking multiple areas in northern Gaza. Two missiles hit Mahmoud al-Attar’s home in Beit Lahia, killing six-year-old Amira Mohammad Mahmoud al-Attar and her two brothers, eight-year-old Islam Mohammad Mahmoud al-Attar and nine-month-old Mohammad Zain Mohammad Mahmoud al-Attar as well as their mother, Lamia, according to documentation collected by DCIP. The family was on the ground floor of the home when a concrete pillar fell on them. Their bodies were removed from under the rubble two hours later and taken to Kamal Odwan hospital.
DCIP has documented 17 other Palestinian children killed in the Gaza Strip since violence escalated Monday afternoon. Nine Palestinian children were killed late Monday afternoon in three separate incidents in the northern Gaza Strip. Israeli missiles killed at least three Palestinian children on Tuesday afternoon and early Wednesday morning as Israel carried out hundreds of airstrikes in densely-populated civilian areas across the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces shot and killed 17-year-old Bashar Ahmad Ibrahim Samour Wednesday morning near the Gaza perimeter fence in Abasan Al-Jadida, east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
DCIP continues to investigate other incidents to determine if children were victims and to provide more details on these incidents.
As Israeli forces intensified their bombardment of the Gaza Strip overnight on Thursday, some 10,000 Palestinians fled their homes due to the ongoing hostilities and are sheltering in schools, mosques and other places, according to a statement released today by the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip have limited access to water, food, hygiene, and health services, and fuel for the electricity plant is expected to run out on Sunday.
The latest escalation in hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups follow weeks of mounting tension as Israeli settlers, with Israeli government support, seek to expel hundreds of Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah, a neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem. Palestinian-led protests against these planned expulsions have been met with state-sanctioned violence as Israeli police and paramilitary border police use excessive force against Palestinian protesters.
International humanitarian law prohibits indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks and requires all parties to an armed conflict to distinguish between military targets, civilians, and civilian objects. Israel as the occupying power in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including the Gaza Strip, is required to protect the Palestinian civilian population from violence.
Israeli authorities have imposed a closure policy against the Gaza Strip since 2007 by strictly controlling and limiting the entry and exit of individuals; maintaining harsh restrictions on imports including food, construction materials, fuel, and other essential items; as well as prohibiting exports. Israel continues to maintain complete control over the Gaza Strip’s borders, airspace, and territorial waters.
*Correction: This article was updated on June 11, 2021, to correct the name of two-year-old Mohammad Rafat Mohammad Tanini. DCIP had previously reported the child's name as Ahmad Rafat Mohammad Tanini.

Ramallah, May 21, 2021— Around 66,000 of some 91,000 internally displaced Palestinians have been sheltering in 58 UNRWA schools across the Gaza Strip, seeking safety in the midst of Israeli military bombardments or after airstrikes destroyed their homes, according to the latest UN figures.
Despite a ceasefire taking effect early this morning, May 21, and a halt to the bombardment, many families are unable to return home for the foreseeable future. Some 258 buildings across the Gaza Strip have been destroyed, including 1,042 housing units, while an additional 769 housing units have been rendered uninhabitable, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported.
There has been a noticeable absence of an organized humanitarian response for these internally displaced persons (IDPs), who have been sheltering without blankets, adequate food and water, or hygiene supplies in crowded contexts that could cause the rapid spread of COVID-19, sources told Defense for Children International - Palestine.
Many of the IDPs whose homes were targeted or otherwise destroyed by Israeli artillery shells were residents of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, including the neighborhoods Al-Attarta, Al-Siafa and Al-Salateen as well as Umm An-Naser village (also known as Al-Qaraya Al-Badawiya). In addition, a large number of IDPs came from areas bordering Israel such as Beit Hanoun, as well as high-rise residential towers in Gaza City.
Bilal H., 12, described the evening of May 13, which was also Eid Al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, as "terrifying." Given that his family’s home in Umm An-Naser village had only a sheet metal roof, the boy's parents initially sought shelter in his grandparents' concrete house. However, the family soon heard shells striking nearby buildings.
"We did not have a car or donkey cart, so we fled on foot at night. It was so dark because the electricity was cut off. Israeli planes were buzzing in the sky, and artillery shells were landing near us," Bilal told DCIP.
The family took shelter in the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahayan school, an UNRWA-run school located in Beit Lahia’s Mashrou' neighborhood. There, the family found difficult and crowded conditions. According to Bilal, families sheltering in the school have only two hours of electricity a day, little food, and no access to water.
"We have not seen anyone from UNRWA, even though we are here at their school. It has been more than five days,” Bilal said.
Fareed al-Abraq, director of the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahayan School Shelter Center, confirmed in an interview that around 1,200 families, or more than 5,000 individuals—approximately half of whom are children—are currently sheltering in the school. Like Bilal, the majority were displaced from Umm An-Naser village on May 13, when that area came under heavy Israeli military strikes.
The shelling led to many casualties, including two children: 17-year-old Fawziya Nasser Mohammad Abu Faris and her nine-month-old nephew, Mohammad Salameh Mohammad Abu Dayyeh.
Al-Abraq told DCIP that many took refuge in the school because it is UN-run, which they hoped would provide them safety. He added that many Palestinians also sheltered in the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahayan School during Israel's military assault on Gaza in July - August 2014, under a Red Cross and UNRWA coordinated effort. At the height of the 2014 hostilities, OCHA reported that 500,000 Palestinians were internally displaced.
In contrast to the coordinated humanitarian response that took place during hostilities in 2014, al-Abraq told DCIP that IDPs who contacted the Red Cross did not receive a response. He further stated that UNRWA has not provided any formal assistance as of yet, and the school is in urgent need of food, bedding, medical and hygiene supplies, water for drinking and bathing, electricity, as well as trained staff to care for the sick and elderly.
Since hostilities escalated on May 10, UNRWA continuously called on all parties to the conflict to enable access to the Gaza Strip. On May 18, UNRWA and other aid organizations called for the creation of "humanitarian corridors" to allow essential materials such as fuel and other emergency relief to reach those in need.
UNRWA further stressed that "under international humanitarian and human rights law, parties to a conflict are under an obligation to allow and facilitate rapid and unimpeded passage of impartial humanitarian relief to the civilian population, and to respect and protect their right to essential levels of human rights such as food, primary health care, and basic shelter and housing."

Just minutes after the war between Israel and Hamas broke out, a 5-year-old boy named Baraa al-Gharabli was killed in Jabaliya, Gaza. A 16-year-old, Mustafa Obaid, was killed in the same strike, on the evening of May 10. Around the same time, four cousins — Yazan al-Masri, 2, Marwan al-Masri, 6, Rahaf al-Masri, 10, and Ibrahim al-Masri, 11 — were killed in Beit Hanoun, Gaza. “It was devastating,” said Mukhlis al-Masri, a cousin. “The pain for our family is indescribable.” Hussein Hamad, 11 Ibrahim Hassanain, 16 Muhammad Suleiman, 15 Hamza Ali, 12 Mina Sharir, 2, and Lina Sharir, 15, sisters Nearly all of the children killed were Palestinian. Gaza is crowded and its population skews young, with about half under age 18. So when Israeli warplanes hit homes and residential neighborhoods, the number of children at risk is extraordinary. Sometimes nearly entire households disappear with a single blast.

Israel’s critics cite the death toll as evidence that Israel’s strikes were indiscriminate and disproportionate. Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza Strip, on May 15. Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Children are the most vulnerable. In Gaza, they grow up amid widespread poverty and high unemployment, and cannot freely travel in or out of the territory because of the blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt. They also live under the constant threat of war. An average 15-year-old would have lived through four major Israeli offensives. Nearly everyone in Gaza knows someone who has been killed in the fighting. “When I think about the children who died,” said Ola Abu Hasaballah, a child psychologist in Gaza, “I also think about the ones who survive, those who were pulled out of the rubble and lost a limb, or those who will go to school and see their friend is missing.” In the Arab village of Dahmash in central Israel, when the sirens wailed around 3 a.m. on May 12, Nadine Awad, 16, and her father ran outside for cover, said her uncle, Ismail Arafat. But a rocket fired by militants in Gaza slammed into the ground next to their home, killing both of them. Nadine was a top student, her academic adviser, Sirin Slameh, said. She spoke English proficiently, taught herself how to play the piano and participated in Jewish-Arab coexistence programs, Ms. Slameh said.

Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times While most of the children were Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes, there are exceptions. At least two of the children killed in Gaza — Baraa al-Gharabli and Mustafa Obaid — may have been killed when Palestinian militants fired a rocket at Israel that fell short, according to an initial investigation by Defense for Children International-Palestine. And one of the children killed in Israel, Nadine Awad, was Palestinian. “The rockets don’t differentiate between Arabs and Jews,” said Ismail Arafat, her uncle. Once the war started, Ido Avigal, 5, was so anxious that he did not want to sleep, shower or eat alone, said Shani Avigal, his mother. When sirens started blaring in Sderot, Israel, he huddled with his family in a fortified safe room at his aunt’s home. But when a rocket hit a nearby building, shrapnel punctured the thick glass of the safe room, tearing into his stomach and killing him. Ms. Avigal said her son was caring and loving, and had recently told his classmates that “not all Arabs are bad.” “I said they all don’t want to kill us,” he told his mother. “I eventually convinced them.” The same day, May 12, Hamada al-Emour, 13, went with his cousin, Ammar al-Emour, 10, to get haircuts at a barber shop — a tradition among many Palestinians before the festival that follows the end of Ramadan. They were nearly back home in Khan Younis when an Israeli airstrike killed them both, said Atiya al-Emour, Hamada’s father, who said he witnessed his son’s death. “I wish I didn’t see what happened to him,” said Mr. al-Emour. “It was awful.” Mahmoud Tolbeh, 12, was an excellent student, his father, Hamed Tolbeh, said. He liked the sciences and dreamed of becoming a mechanical engineer. He was helpful around the house, making eggs and sandwiches for his siblings, tea and coffee for guests, cleaning the house and picking up groceries. “He was the backbone of our family,” Mr. Tolbeh said. “We could rely on him for anything.” On the last night of Ramadan, he went to help a cousin at his barber shop. Mahmoud was steps from the shop’s entrance, his father said, when shrapnel from an Israeli airstrike hit his head and neck. He died two days later. His sister Nagham cradled his body. “He had a bright future,” Mr. Tolbeh said. “But it was buried with him in the grave.” Nagham Tolbeh mourned over the body of her brother, Mahmoud.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Yahya Khalifa, 13, enjoyed riding his bike, had memorized several chapters of the Quran and hoped to one day visit the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. “He was an innocent and sweet boy,” his father, Mazen Khalifa, said. He went out to run a quick errand, promising to pick up yogurt and ice cream for the family, his father said, and was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Four brothers: Amir Tanani, 6, Ahmad Tanani, 2, Ismail Tanani, 7, and Adham Tanani, 4 (not pictured). The identities of the children killed, their photographs and the circumstances of their deaths came from their parents and other relatives, teachers and schools in Gaza and Israel, international rights organizations, Palestinian officials, social media, and news organizations in Gaza and Israel. Most of the details were corroborated by multiple sources. Khaled Qanou, 17 Ahmad al-Hawajri, 14 The Israeli military says that it takes rigorous precautions to prevent civilian deaths. It says a major part of its bombing campaign was aimed at Hamas’s underground tunnel network, a military facility that runs underneath civilian neighborhoods. Many people in Gaza, however, say that the number of civilians killed proves that whatever precautions Israel may be taking are tragically insufficient. “People think there has to be some rationale,” said Raji Sourani, director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza, “but the bottom line is they want to inflict pain and suffering.” The mother and brother of Yahya Khalifa, 13. Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times The low toll on the Israeli side also reflected an imbalance in defensive capabilities. Hamas and other militant groups fired more than 4,000 rockets at Israeli towns and cities, also indiscriminately. But most were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system, which Israeli officials said stopped about 90 percent of the rockets. And many Israelis have safe rooms in their homes. In Gaza, most people have no access to safe rooms or shelters. Many people seek refuge in the United Nations schools, but they too have been bombed, reinforcing a feeling that anyone could be killed anywhere. Even in Israel, Arab citizens don’t always have equal access to bomb shelters. Ms. Awad, who was killed by a rocket from Gaza, lived in an Arab village with no bomb shelter. Lina Issa, 13 Fawziya Abu Faris, 17, woke up early every morning in Umm al-Nasr, a Bedouin community in northern Gaza, to milk her family’s sheep and make fresh cheese and yogurt, said her father, Nasser Abu Faris. Muhammad Abu Dayyeh, 9 months Hoor al-Zamli, 2 Ibrahim al-Rantisi, 6 months It was shortly after midnight in Beit Lahia, Gaza, and the three terrified children were huddled in their mother’s arms. Muhammad-Zain al-Attar, 9 months, sat in the middle, his sister, Amira al-Attar, 6, and brother, Islam al-Attar, 8, on either side. The first strike hit the entrance of their ground floor apartment, trapping the family and making it impossible to flee, the father, Muhammad al-Attar, said. The second, moments later, brought the three story building down. Mr. al-Attar dug himself out of the rubble and survived. His wife and children were crushed under a concrete pillar, their bodies found still together. Abdullah Jouda, 12 Mental health experts and independent organizations who work with children in Gaza say they commonly suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic fear and anxiety. Those feelings can produce debilitating nightmares and self-destructive or aggressive behavior. A Palestinian boy next to the remains of his home in Gaza City.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times “Gaza is already a very violent and terrorizing experience for children because they are under constant military rule,” said Karl Schembri, a spokesman for the Norwegian Refugee Council, which runs a psychotherapy and education program for children in Gaza. Eleven of the children the group works with were killed this month, all of them in their homes. “They were getting assistance and care to try and put behind them their nightmares and their trauma,” Mr. Schembri said. “Now they are buried with their dreams and their nightmares.” Butheina Obaid, 6 Suheib al-Hadidi, 12, lived with his parents and four brothers in the crowded Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. He was fascinated by birds, which had a freedom he could only imagine. He owned a cockatiel, trained it to sit on his shoulder and envisioned a future as a breeder, his cousin, Abdullah al-Hadidi, said. His brother, Yahya al-Hadidi, 10, was a shy boy who liked riding his bike and playing with cats, Mr. al-Hadidi said. Osama al-Hadidi, 5, was considered one of the most stylish members of his family. He changed clothes frequently and took pains to perfect his looks, Mr. al-Hadidi said. “He would shower and change his clothes every two hours.” Abdurrahman al-Hadidi, 7, studied English, dreamed of traveling to Turkey and liked playing with remote-control cars, his father, Muhammad al-Hadidi, said. The four brothers were asleep at their uncle and aunt’s home, Muhammad al-Hadidi said, when an Israeli bomb ripped through the ceiling, killing them, their mother, their aunt and four cousins.

At around 1 a.m. on May 16, Israeli strikes reduced both buildings to rubble, killing more than 20 members of the extended family, including eight children: Yara al-Qawlaq, 9, Hala al-Qawlaq, 12, Rula al-Qawlaq, 5, Zaid al-Qawlaq, 8, Qusai al-Qawlaq, 6 months, Adam al-Qawlaq, 3, Ahmad al-Qawlaq, 15, and Hana al-Qawlaq, 14 (not pictured). “It’s unimaginable,” said Waseem al-Qawlaq, who survived. “It’s beyond torture.” Searching for victims from the al-Qawlaq family.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Dima al-Ifranji, 15, far left, was the oldest child and the apple of her father’s eye.

He liked playing soccer and listening to music, and hoped to become a computer engineer. Mira al-Ifranji, 11, imagined a future as a dentist. And Amir al-Ifranji, 9, was a polite child with a vibrant smile who loved playing soccer and video games on his phone. An Israeli airstrike on May 16 killed all four children and their mother. It was late at night and even though the feast celebrating the end of Ramadan was over, Dana Ishkontana, 9, and Lana Ishkontana, 5, wanted to dress up in their new holiday outfits. Their uncle, Raed Ishkontana, snapped pictures on his phone while their two brothers, Yahya Ishkontana, 4, and Zain Ishkontana, 2, watched, Mr. Ishkontana recalled. Then he stepped out to get snacks for the family, chocolate candy bars and potato chips.

Her brother, Tawfiq Abu Elouf, 17, was a serious student, intensely prepping for the standardized tests Palestinians take in their senior year of high school, Mr. Abu Elouf said.

The girl sat down for lunch with 13 relatives in a private residential garden. Minutes later, Israel attacked a building nearby, an uncle said. Shrapnel and rubble struck Rafeef. She and another uncle were killed. The drawing Rafeef Abu Dayer, 10, was working on before she was killed.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Nagham Salha, 2 On May 19, the day before Israel and Hamas agreed to a cease-fire, Dima Asaliyah, 10, was walking home from her older sister’s house carrying an electric pizza oven. It was a small one, her father, Saad Asaliyah, said, the size of a soccer ball, that the family used to bake bread. An Israeli surveillance drone had been hovering overhead, and Mr. Asaliyah now wonders if Israeli soldiers mistook it for a weapon. “Maybe their alarms went off because of the stove,” he said. “But did they not see how small she was?” There was an explosion, and his youngest child was gone. “Do you see her picture?” he asked.“She’s worthy of our grief.”

On the last night of Ramadan, he went to help a cousin at his barber shop. Mahmoud was steps from the shop’s entrance, his father said, when shrapnel from an Israeli airstrike hit his head and neck. He died two days later.
His sister Nagham cradled his body.
“He had a bright future,” Mr. Tolbeh said. “But it was buried with him in the grave.”

Yahya Khalifa, 13, enjoyed riding his bike, had memorized several chapters of the Quran and hoped to one day visit the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
“He was an innocent and sweet boy,” his father, Mazen Khalifa, said.
He went out to run a quick errand, promising to pick up yogurt and ice cream for the family, his father said, and was killed in an Israeli airstrike.

The identities of the children killed, their photographs and the circumstances of their deaths came from their parents and other relatives, teachers and schools in Gaza and Israel, international rights organizations, Palestinian officials, social media, and news organizations in Gaza and Israel. Most of the details were corroborated by multiple sources.

The Israeli military says that it takes rigorous precautions to prevent civilian deaths. It says a major part of its bombing campaign was aimed at Hamas’s underground tunnel network, a military facility that runs underneath civilian neighborhoods.
Many people in Gaza, however, say that the number of civilians killed proves that whatever precautions Israel may be taking are tragically insufficient.
“People think there has to be some rationale,” said Raji Sourani, director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza, “but the bottom line is they want to inflict pain and suffering.”

The low toll on the Israeli side also reflected an imbalance in defensive capabilities.
Hamas and other militant groups fired more than 4,000 rockets at Israeli towns and cities, also indiscriminately. But most were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system, which Israeli officials said stopped about 90 percent of the rockets. And many Israelis have safe rooms in their homes.
In Gaza, most people have no access to safe rooms or shelters. Many people seek refuge in the United Nations schools, but they too have been bombed, reinforcing a feeling that anyone could be killed anywhere.
Even in Israel, Arab citizens don’t always have equal access to bomb shelters. Ms. Awad, who was killed by a rocket from Gaza, lived in an Arab village with no bomb shelter.

Fawziya Abu Faris, 17, woke up early every morning in Umm al-Nasr, a Bedouin community in northern Gaza, to milk her family’s sheep and make fresh cheese and yogurt, said her father, Nasser Abu Faris.

It was shortly after midnight in Beit Lahia, Gaza, and the three terrified children were huddled in their mother’s arms. Muhammad-Zain al-Attar, 9 months, sat in the middle, his sister, Amira al-Attar, 6, and brother, Islam al-Attar, 8, on either side.
The first strike hit the entrance of their ground floor apartment, trapping the family and making it impossible to flee, the father, Muhammad al-Attar, said. The second, moments later, brought the three story building down.
Mr. al-Attar dug himself out of the rubble and survived. His wife and children were crushed under a concrete pillar, their bodies found still together.

Mental health experts and independent organizations who work with children in Gaza say they commonly suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic fear and anxiety. Those feelings can produce debilitating nightmares and self-destructive or aggressive behavior.

“Gaza is already a very violent and terrorizing experience for children because they are under constant military rule,” said Karl Schembri, a spokesman for the Norwegian Refugee Council, which runs a psychotherapy and education program for children in Gaza. Eleven of the children the group works with were killed this month, all of them in their homes.
“They were getting assistance and care to try and put behind them their nightmares and their trauma,” Mr. Schembri said. “Now they are buried with their dreams and their nightmares.”

Suheib al-Hadidi, 12, lived with his parents and four brothers in the crowded Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. He was fascinated by birds, which had a freedom he could only imagine. He owned a cockatiel, trained it to sit on his shoulder and envisioned a future as a breeder, his cousin, Abdullah al-Hadidi, said.
His brother, Yahya al-Hadidi, 10, was a shy boy who liked riding his bike and playing with cats, Mr. al-Hadidi said.
Osama al-Hadidi, 5, was considered one of the most stylish members of his family. He changed clothes frequently and took pains to perfect his looks, Mr. al-Hadidi said. “He would shower and change his clothes every two hours.”
Abdurrahman al-Hadidi, 7, studied English, dreamed of traveling to Turkey and liked playing with remote-control cars, his father, Muhammad al-Hadidi, said.
The four brothers were asleep at their uncle and aunt’s home, Muhammad al-Hadidi said, when an Israeli bomb ripped through the ceiling, killing them, their mother, their aunt and four cousins.

The al-Qawlaq family owned two adjacent apartment buildings on Al Wahda Street, a main thoroughfare in Gaza City. At around 1 a.m. on May 16, Israeli strikes reduced both buildings to rubble, killing more than 20 members of the extended family, including eight children: Yara al-Qawlaq, 9, Hala al-Qawlaq, 12, Rula al-Qawlaq, 5, Zaid al-Qawlaq, 8, Qusai al-Qawlaq, 6 months, Adam al-Qawlaq, 3, Ahmad al-Qawlaq, 15, and Hana al-Qawlaq, 14 (not pictured).
“It’s unimaginable,” said Waseem al-Qawlaq, who survived. “It’s beyond torture.”

Dima al-Ifranji, 15, far left, was the oldest child and the apple of her father’s eye. She was one of the top students in her class, spoke English and French, and dreamed of studying medicine, her father, Rami al-Ifranji, said. “She was brilliant,” he said. “She was a master of foreign languages.”
Her brother, Yazan al-Ifranji, 13, was a bright child, often the first to answer questions in class, Mr. al-Ifranji said. He liked playing soccer and listening to music, and hoped to become a computer engineer.
Mira al-Ifranji, 11, imagined a future as a dentist. And Amir al-Ifranji, 9, was a polite child with a vibrant smile who loved playing soccer and video games on his phone.
An Israeli airstrike on May 16 killed all four children and their mother.
It was late at night and even though the feast celebrating the end of Ramadan was over, Dana Ishkontana, 9, and Lana Ishkontana, 5, wanted to dress up in their new holiday outfits. Their uncle, Raed Ishkontana, snapped pictures on his phone while their two brothers, Yahya Ishkontana, 4, and Zain Ishkontana, 2, watched, Mr. Ishkontana recalled.
Then he stepped out to get snacks for the family, chocolate candy bars and potato chips.
The four children and their mother were killed in an Israeli airstrike, he said.
“I wish I never left,” he said.

Her father called her “Galaxy.” Tala Abu Elouf, 13, he thought, had skin the color of a Galaxy chocolate bar. She was quick with a joke and her father, Dr. Ayman Abu Elouf, adored her, said Alaa Abu Elouf, her cousin.
Her brother, Tawfiq Abu Elouf, 17, was a serious student, intensely prepping for the standardized tests Palestinians take in their senior year of high school, Mr. Abu Elouf said.

Rafeef Abu Dayer, 10, liked to draw. She had sketched one of the high-rise buildings that an Israeli airstrike destroyed in Gaza City two days earlier and had started to color in her drawing when her mother called her for lunch.
“You can go back to drawing after you eat,” her mother said.
The girl sat down for lunch with 13 relatives in a private residential garden. Minutes later, Israel attacked a building nearby, an uncle said. Shrapnel and rubble struck Rafeef. She and another uncle were killed.

On May 19, the day before Israel and Hamas agreed to a cease-fire, Dima Asaliyah, 10, was walking home from her older sister’s house carrying an electric pizza oven. It was a small one, her father, Saad Asaliyah, said, the size of a soccer ball, that the family used to bake bread.
An Israeli surveillance drone had been hovering overhead, and Mr. Asaliyah now wonders if Israeli soldiers mistook it for a weapon.
“Maybe their alarms went off because of the stove,” he said. “But did they not see how small she was?”
There was an explosion, and his youngest child was gone.
“Do you see her picture?” he asked. “She’s worthy of our grief.”

al-Qarayah al-Badwiyah al-Maslakh, Beit Lahiya
Testimony of Naser Abu Fares, 50, father of 12, who lost three daughters and a grandson in the incident:
I have two wives. Most of the time, I live with my first wife, Madallah, and our children: Nisrin, 27, Israa, 18, Fawzeyeh, 17, Ghazal, 12, Ramzi, 30, Majdi, 22, ‘Imran, 20, and Muhammad, 11. My wife Zinat, 34, and our three children, Hamzah, 6, Malak, 5, and Seif, 3, live in the other house, about 300 meters away.
When the war began, we started hearing shelling and bombing in the northern Gaza Strip. We live by the border and the strikes weren’t close to us, so we carried on as usual.
On Thursday, 13 May 2021, at around 6:30 P.M., I was sitting at my neighbors’ when suddenly, I heard two shells fall. I didn’t know where they’d landed, but I saw smoke billowing out of my first house. I ran over there quickly with my friends, but before we even got there, a third shell landed right next to us. I went inside the house, but it was full of smoke and dust so I couldn’t see who was hurt. I heard my neighbors say a shell had also landed on the home of our neighbors, the ‘Ayash family. They said Ni’mah ‘Ayash had been killed and that another shell had landed on the street and hit a resident named Hashem a-Zgheibi.
I continued searching the house. I found my daughters. Some of them were dismembered. My sons were wounded and there was blood everywhere. When I saw that, I blacked out for a few minutes. The neighbors woke me up, and then I found out that my daughters Sabrin, 27, Nisrin and Fawzeyeh, as well as Sabrin’s nine-month-old son Muhammad Abu Diyah, had been killed. Sabrin doesn’t live with us. She’s married and lives with her husband, but she was visiting us that day.
An ambulance came and took everyone to the Indonesian Hospital. I followed them in my car, which had also been damaged in the shelling. On the way, I saw people evacuating their homes because of the shelling and fleeing the area.
I barely made it to the hospital. I had to identify my daughters. I asked a doctor where they were, and he led me to a refrigerator to identify them. I searched among the dismembered body parts and clothes in the fridge. A forensic doctor who came there arranged the body parts so I could identify them. It was unbearable. I couldn’t take it, especially when he laid their parts out next to each other so I could identify my daughters and the baby.
We buried them the next day, with some relatives and friends in attendance. It wasn’t a regular funeral because everyone was anxious about the airstrikes. It was scary. The bombings didn’t stop. My daughter Israa didn’t come because she was in hospital. She’s still in the ICU. She’s injured in the chest, head, back and leg.
From the hospital, I went with the rest of my family to al-Khalifah School in Beit Lahiya. Our house was in ruins. We had nowhere to go back to, and we were also afraid to go back there. We can’t bear to look at the walls, either. They still have traces of blood and bits of flesh on them. We had a rough time at the school. There was no food or drink, and there were no mattresses. The situation was bad and we couldn’t buy food or drink. We didn’t have any extra clothes, either. The war ended on Friday, and then I rented another house and my family moved there. I never thought something like this would happen to me, that I’d lose my daughters like that.

I continued searching the house. I found my daughters. Some of them were dismembered. My sons were wounded and there was blood everywhere. When I saw that, I blacked out for a few minutes.
Testimony of Isma’il ‘Ayash al-Khatib, 50, Ni’amah’s brother:
My wife and I lived on the ground floor, and my mother lived next door in a tin house. I had started building another floor above me. There’s an internal staircase leading up to it, but the floor’s not ready for living in yet.
When the war started, we stayed home and everything was normal, except for the sound of shelling and the airplanes, tanks and ships that were bombarding the northern Gaza Strip. Everyone in al-Qarayah carried on as usual and we didn’t evacuate our homes, because we’re close to the border and there are no Hamas outposts in the area.
On Thursday, 13 May 2021, at around 6:30 P.M., I was in my apartment with my mother Hamdiya, 75, my sister Ni’mah, 47, and my married sister Sarah, who was visiting my mother for the holiday. Our neighbors Jamileh a-Zgheibi and her daughter-in-law were at our place, too. They were all sitting in the garden and I was inside. It was the first day of ‘Eid al-Fitr.
Suddenly, I heard a series of explosions and saw smoke, dust and flames. I heard screaming and windows shattering. I ran to the garden to see if my mother and sisters were okay, and saw debris on the staircase. I thought it might have been a warning missile, so I got everyone inside quickly. My sister Ni’mah went into my apartment and up the stairs to the first floor. My sister Sarah, the neighbor Jamileh and her daughter-in-law went into my apartment, and I helped my mother come in there, too.
Just then, I heard three more explosions in a row. I grabbed some personal documents and we ran out of the house, which collapsed. I went out to the street and saw it was full of rubble and lumps of concrete. I heard screaming and crying and saw injured people lying on the ground. The street was in ruins. It was full of blood and dust and smoke. It was an unbearable sight. There were also ambulances and rescue teams. I ran away, supporting my mother. We walked about a hundred meters until we got to the ambulances. They couldn’t reach the entrance to our house.
My mother, my wife and I were taken to the Indonesian Hospital. I didn’t see my sister Ni’mah, and didn’t know what had happened to her. I assumed she’d made it out. I saw my sister Sarah and our neighbor Jamileh and her daughter-in-law running away. I saw that Naser Abu Fares’ house next door was completely destroyed. I saw people trying to extract bodies from the ruins.
At the hospital, I looked for my sister Ni’mah. I searched the wards and after an hour and a half, I found her in the refrigerator. She had been killed by shrapnel in the stairwell. I heard Hashem a-Zgheibi, who had been hit by shrapnel from a shell that landed by our front door, was also dead. Later, I heard Naser Abu Fares had lost three of his daughters and his grandson.
From the Indonesian Hospital, we went to al-Khalifah School at the Beit Lahiya project. We arrived at the school with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We stayed there in really harsh conditions. We sat on the floor and slept on the floor. Three or four days later, people donated some mattresses and blankets. We had nothing to eat or drink, and it was total chaos. There was nothing but sadness, pain and depression on people’s faces. They were mourning their dead or wounded sons, and the homes destroyed in the shelling. It all happened when we were in our homes, on the first day of the holiday.
