A survivor of an attack in central Gaza in the early morning hours described the scenes of devastation from the tent encampment that was bombed by Israel’s military near Deir el-Balah.

“We were sleeping inside our tents in the cold and about 3am we were shocked by a loud explosion and fire everywhere,” Momen al-Khaldi told Al Jazeera.

“There were more than 15 tents over there housing people, mostly children, women and old people. Most of the sick people were the victims of this aggression that happened without prior warning.”

He said the Israelis now don’t give warnings before their attacks.

“The Israelis want to kill more of us every day. Enough is enough. We have nothing in this life except a torn tent and the Israelis are killing us inside these tents. We want this war to come to an end.”
