‘Beyond horrific. I saw a little girl without a head’: Witness of Israeli school attack
Our colleague Ibrahim al-Khalili has spoken to survivors of the deadly overnight Israeli attack that we reported earlier on Halimah al-Saadiyah School, which was sheltering displaced people in Jabalia an-Nazla, in northern Gaza.
“I saw the whole area filled with dust – that’s when I realised the strike had hit this place,” Abu Haitham Khalla told Al Jazeera, standing among the rubble.
“The panic, fear, and terror that swept through the school was overwhelming. There were about 1,000 displaced people sheltering here – tents and classrooms all being used as refuge,” he said.
“So far, 10 people have been confirmed killed, in addition to many injuries – all of them women and children.”
Another witness, Ahmed Khalla, said he found dead people lying on the floor of a classroom.
“Children torn apart, charred. Women who had done absolutely nothing. The scenes were beyond horrific. I saw a little girl without a head – literally, without a head.”
