Disfigured and unrecognisable: The residential neighbourhood destroyed by Israeli air strikes

11 October 2023 11:05 BST

The al-Karama neighbourhood, a densely populated and mainly residential part of Gaza, has been completely demolished by Israeli air strikes. 

Survivors have been forced to leave, seeking shelter elsewhere as Israel continues to pound the area.

Emergency services have not been able to reach the neighbourhood due to ongoing bombing and difficulty reaching the area.
