VIDEO OF ISRAELI ATTACK ON RAFAH

This video is about the Israeli invasion of Rafah in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, during the past three days. This invasion has caused the death of at least 17 Palestinians, mostly civilians. The audio is Arabic. The lady in white that appears early on complained of the constant shelling, lack of electricity, water or fuel. She said that injured people were everywhere, but they could not be transported to hospital, due to the shelling.

Tragically, that same woman, looking for shelter that same evening, with her three children, was hit by Israeli missiles. A son and a daughter were killed, with their bodies torn to pieces. She and another son are in critical condition in a hospital. The doctor describes the effects of a new weapon not used before. He said the limbs were torn off.

Seeking relative safety from the indiscriminate Israeli shelling, entire families flocked to the UNRWA schools, with no guarantee of safety.
