More witnesses have described the horror of Israel’s major bombing of the Shujaiya neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City.

“We were talking in the street and suddenly we were shocked to see the building’s bricks flying apart — in addition to flying hands and feet,” one man told Al Jazeera.

Another survivor added: “It is a massacre with the full meaning of the word. I haven’t seen or heard about a massacre like this since the start of the war. Most of the martyrs are children and defenceless civilians.”

He said Israel’s attacks destroyed more than 30 homes in the district.

“I don’t know what more the Israelis are planning for us. We need this bloodshed to come to an end. This is not fair, enough is enough.”
