‘People torn apart’ in deadly Israeli attack on Jabalia clinic
We’ve collected testimonies from people in Jabalia refugee camp, where an Israeli attack on al-Tawbah medical clinic killed at least 13 people today.
Mohammad al-Taramsi said women and children were receiving medical treatment when the clinic was bombed. “The strike was extremely intense – indescribable,” he told Al Jazeera.
“The martyrs were lying on the ground, including children and women … Reaching the area was difficult for ambulances and civilian vehicles because of the massive destruction, and the bodies remained on the ground for a long time.”
Another local resident, Yahya al-Skaafi, said he was collecting the remains of those killed. “The scene was heartbreaking – people torn apart and scattered,” he told Al Jazeera. “The martyrs who were on the upper floor were just body parts. It was a truly tragic situation.”
Khaled Abu Jalloum also said children and women were among those killed. “There was no justification for striking this place. It’s a clinic where people come to get treated, and it contains medicine and medical equipment,” he said.
