At least 109 Palestinians, including many children, were killed and dozens more wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a multistory residential building in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, on Tuesday.
A CGTN stringer in Gaza visited the bombsite and interviewed Hassan Abu Al-Nasr, a nearby resident, who recounted the harrowing experience of the airstrike and spoke about the dire situation facing the community.
"The strike demolished homes," Al-Nasr said. "Despite efforts to rescue people and pull bodies from the rubble, three to four times as many bodies are still buried beneath it."
The devastation has left the local population feeling hopeless as they grapple with the immense loss of life and the urgent need for humanitarian assistance.
