In a video shared by the watchdog, 44-year-old Iman Abdelsalam Massoud described how an Israeli drone struck her home, killing her husband and daughter and then returned to target her siblings who had to tried to reach her in an attempt to save her.
Massoud told Euro-Med that she had gathered her laundry in preparation to leave the camp they were staying in, as they could hear drone strikes nearby.
"While I was there collecting it to take with me and my husband standing next to me at the clothes line.. an Israeli drone struck my husband," she said. "The missile exploded right in front of me, I didn't know what had happened and I started screaming".
"I looked up and I saw my husband lying there with injuries to his abdomen and neck".
Massoud's children then went to get a cart to transport him to hospital, but were struck by another drone.
"It hit my daughter Asmaa, 18 years old. Her leg was severed from the hip".
