Four Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood. A witness told Al Jazeera that dead bodies were “strewn all over” the streets in the attack’s aftermath, and that people have been scrambling to rescue the victims.

“The martyrs are all over the place in the streets. We are still trying to find some martyrs on our own because there are no civil defence teams or ambulances here,” Ahmed Barakat told Al Jazeera. “I don’t know what more hardships we can expect. I have no more words to say.”

Another witness, Khalil Abed, told the news outlet he was looking for his “loved ones”.

“We are still trying to recover them from under the rubble. We are just using our hands to find them because we don’t have tools. There are no civil defence and ambulance teams here. We have no tools and we even have no basics of life,” Abed said.

“The Israelis have attacked us without prior warning.”
