Toddler pulled alive from rubble after Israeli air strike in Rafah, Gaza

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Toddler pulled alive from rubble after Israeli air strike in Rafah, Gaza” – below is their description.

Residents and rescue team pulled a toddler alive from debris on Thursday by digging rubble with bare hands after deadly air strike in Rafah.

A man rushed carried the girl and ran toward the Kuwaiti hospital, as ambulances and civil rescuers struggle to reach bomb sites past rubble-strewn roads and with ever-depleting supplies of fuel.

An Israeli air strike later on Thursday killed 20 Palestinians and wounded 55 in Rafah, a major town near Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qidra said. The building that was hit was housing displaced civilians, according to local medics and residents.

Palestinian health ministry said that the toll of Palestinians killed in the war so far to 21,320 – nearly 1 per cent of Gaza’s population. Thousands more dead are feared to be buried or lost in the ruins.

Israel launched the war to destroy the militant Islamist Hamas movement that runs Gaza after fighters rampaged through Israeli towns in a cross-border raid on October 7, killing 1,200 people and taking about 240 hostages.
