Exclusive Al Jazeera videos show aftermath of deadly strikes on Gaza

Exclusive video clips captured by our Al Jazeera Arabic colleagues show the aftermath of the latest Israeli air strikes in Gaza City’s Tuffah neighbourhood.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that 14 people were killed, including women and children, in the Tuffah attack and an Israeli strike in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood overnight.

In the video, rescue workers and residents were seen scrambling to search for survivors under the rubble and are seen carrying victims. According to the Palestinian news agency, Wafa, at least three homes were targeted in the overnight attack, leaving many fatalities including women and children.

Rescuers attempting to retrieve women, children buried under rubble in Shujayea

Not only are we seeing more people killed inside homes because of the ongoing bombing, but the enforced starvation and lack of hydration is threatening the lives of many people in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Overnight attacks targeted three residential homes in Shujayea neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City. Witnesses told us two of these homes were occupied by displaced families from different parts of Shujayea neighbourhood.

Fourteen people have already been pulled from under the rubble. Paramedics and civil defence rescuers are expecting five more to be pulled out.

The Israeli military continues to bomb areas in the west part of Rafah city, Tal as-Sultan and in the vicinity of the Emirati field hospital, targeting the outskirts of an evacuation centre that’s an UNRWA school.

It’s causing a great deal of panic and concern as those people are unable to leave these areas. There are quadcoptors and surveillance drones in the entire area. What they do is chase people and shoot at them.
