Cell phone video heartbreak shows the small silhouette of Ward al-Sheikh Khalil walking through the rubble, his refuge for change of change wrapped in flames around him, after a Israeli strike Hit the school where she and her family had fled to escape the war that extended around them in the Gaza pull.

Khalil, only 5 years, survived. His mother and five of his brothers did not leave the building on fire.

When he returned to the attack scene, he found the abandoned Flip-Flop of his sister and broke sobb.

“Everyone died after a rocket fell on top of them,” he told the News themezone team in Gaza through tears. “The rocket fell and the place was on fire. The fire was furious. My arm burned.”

“The fire filled the sky and the ground,” he said. “I was asleep, but I got out of the fire. When I left, I didn’t find my dad. They took me to the Baptist Hospital and I saw Dad on the road, in the ambulance. I saw him. I had many wounds in my face.”

“Dad is alive, and my brother will be alive, and I’m alive. That’s all. But all my other brothers are dead,” said the girl, held in her uncle’s arms, to News themezone. “I wish we could meet again.”

The Israeli strike took place in the middle of the night. Israel’s defense forces said the goal was a Hamas command and control center inside the school building.

Rescuers in the Palestinian territory controlled by Hamas said the strike killed 33 people.

The head of the European Union, Ursula von der Leyen, called the “abhorrent” attack on Tuesday during a call with King Abdullah II of Jordan, according to a reading of the EU call cited by the French news agency News.

“The expansion of Israel’s military operations in Gaza aimed at civil infrastructure, including a school that served as a refuge for displaced Palestinian families, killing civilians, including children, is abhorrent,” said Von der, according to the EU. “The European Commission has always supported, and will continue to support, Israel’s right to security and self -defense. But this escalation and disproportionate use of force against civilians cannot be justified under humanitarian and international law.”

Khalil’s uncle, Iyad Mohamed el-Sheikh Khalil, holding his niece, told News themezone that his whole family had been displaced by the war, including his brother who had sought refuge with his wife and children at school in the Daraj neighborhood of the city of Gaza.

When he heard reports from a strike at school, he immediately tried to contact.

“Some photos were released in the media. When I looked at them, I saw Ward with the civil defense. I immediately knew that it was my niece,” he said. “When I arrived, I saw that my brother’s bodies were charred and torn.

He was concerned with the lasting impact of living through such a trauma in the children of Gaza, including his niece.

“When they come out of such bombing and such war, how do you want children to feel? They must be in a terrible psychological state. Even we are in a terrible psychological state,” he told News themezone.

In the midst of bombing, the Palestinians in Gaza also face a critical fight to find food, after an Israeli block of almost three months over all humanitarian goods that enter the territory.

Under the pressure of their allies, including the United States, Israel began allowing some humanitarian assets to enter Gaza last week, but help agencies say it is not enough to meet the needs of the approximately 2 million inhabitants of the enclave.

The newly established Humanitarian Foundation of Gaza and Israel also backed by the United States and Israel also He said he started distributing food Mondays. The GHF said Tuesday that it had distributed a total of approximately 462,000 meals for two days of operation.

The United Nations and other aid organizations have opposed the group’s methods, describing it as distraction.

“Even when they bring help, nothing comes to us,” Islam Abu Taemia told while looking for food with his son in Gaza this week. “We are like street dogs that collect garbage food. If we don’t do it, we are died of hunger.”
