Dozens feared trapped under rubble in Gaza City’s Sabra
Rescue workers are still searching for bodies under this cluster of residential homes that was bombed after midnight in Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood.
A group of residential homes was targeted by multiple air strikes. Residents could not leave because of the dense presence of air surveillance, the quadcopters that create this fear of being attacked.
They stayed inside when, all of a sudden, huge explosions rocked the area. The fear is that as many as 50 people are trapped under the rubble of these completely sandwiched homes.
All the casualties are from one family in this neighbourhood, which has been relentlessly attacked over the past few weeks in an attempt by the Israeli military to drive people out.
Gaza City residents say Israeli drones fire on rescuers trying to save survivors from rubble
A Palestinian family who lost dozens of members in an overnight strike by Israel in Gaza City has made an urgent appeal for help to try to free others trapped in the rubble.
At least 25 members of the Doghmush family were killed in the Israeli attack on a residential area of the Sabra neighbourhood. At least 17 people have been rescued in the aftermath of the strike, and family members at the scene said they can still hear voices from the rubble, where they fear as many as 50 people continue to be trapped.
“I appeal to the whole world: Please lend us a helping hand,” one family member said. “Our families and relatives are buried alive. We keep hearing their screams from under the rubble, but we cannot reach them.”
He said Israeli drones were firing on rescuers working in the rubble. “Every time we try to reach them, the Israeli drones open fire on us. For every five men making an attempt, four are killed, and only one survives.”
