Break the concrete into small pieces and carefully pull the body out.

The girl might only let out a low cry as if she was overcome by extreme fear and pain.

It is fortunate that survivors are rescued from the bombing wreckage.

Many civilians are found dead.

The dead are wrapped in white cloth according to Islamic law.

There are so many deaths that even cloth is not enough.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that more than 21,600 Gaza residents have lost their lives so far.

There are far more civilians, including children, than soldiers.

South Africa filed a complaint once morest Israel to the International Court of Justice on charges of genocide.

It accused Israel of acting with the intention of destroying the Palestinian people.

[무스타파 바르구티 / 팔레스타인 국민선도당 사무총장 : 집단학살과 집단처벌, 인종청소 등 3가지 끔찍한 전쟁범죄를 저지르고 있으며 이제 국제사회가 책임을 물을 때가 됐습니다.]

Israel rejected the complaint, saying it was untrue and lacked legal basis.

However, criticism from the international community is pouring in, with the Minister of Defense saying last October that he was fighting ‘human beasts’ and making comments that might be linked to genocide.
