'When we entered the school, we saw body parts all over the prayer hall'

Moatasem Dalloul, an activist at the scene of the school massacre in Gaza City, said the nearby Al-Maamadani Hospital is only partially functioning and does not have enough space for the wounded.

In a video Dalloul shared with MEE, a young boy suffering from burns and wounds across his body is seen bandaged and lying on a stretcher in one of the hospital’s corridors.

“The bodies of the people who were killed are placed everywhere in the yards of the hospital and their loved ones are bidding them farewell,” Dalloul said.

“Israel keeps targetting shelters, but people continue to shelter in these places because their homes have been destroyed in repeated Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip.”

A man at the scene of the massacre, who did not give his name, said: “When we entered the school, we saw body parts all over the prayer hall.”
