‘Bodies are everywhere’: Site of Jabalia attack ‘beyond description’

A warning that some of the footage may be distressing to viewers.

Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Anas al-Sharif has headed to the site of the Israeli attack on Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.

“Victims are just lying on the ground. Many have been killed, bodies ripped apart. Even animals aren’t spared,” he said as residents carried the wounded while others placed bodies on donkey carts.

“The scale of the destruction is massive because this area was purposely bombed by Israeli fighter jets. Bodies are everywhere. This is beyond description,” al-Sharif said.

An elderly man called it “a massacre”.

“This is a residential area, and we are all peaceful civilians. Many of us were venturing out to try to find some food,” he said. “Where are those who speak of human rights? Look at all these civilians killed in a residential area.”
