WATCH: Civil defence rescues a Palestinian child from under the rubble hours after Israeli strike

Palestinian civil defence  team rescued a child from under the rubble seven hours after the Israeli strike in Gaza.

Israel continues to attack Gaza despite international calls for restraints and to end the war.

A video posted on social media shows Palestinian Civil Defence crews rescuing a child from under the rubble after seven hours of digging, following an Israeli strike on a residential building in Gaza City.

UNICEF spokesperson James Elder, who witnessed the devastating impact of the Israeli military offensive on children in Gaza, shared his profound dismay after meeting a two-year-old child in Lebanon who had not only lost his limbs but also his entire family in an Israeli attack. 

Elder expressed his shock, saying that as the violence intensifies, these heart-wrenching stories continue to emerge one after another.

“I don’t know whether to scream or to cry,” he said, adding, “When I first visited Gaza a year ago, I encountered a story I never imagined possible.” He recounted visiting a bombed hospital where a caretaker whispered to him that the boy he was looking at had lost his entire family in an Israeli strike.
