Survivors recount the Rafah camp massacre

“We were sitting down in peace when we suddenly heard the explosion,” said Layan al-Fayoum, a survivor of the Israeli attack on Rafah that took place on Sunday night, killing dozens of displaced Palestinians residing in tents.

“It was so sudden. The bombs came down without a warning.”

The young teenager went out of her tent to see what happened and was shocked by the large inferno that had engulfed the site. 

“The flames were huge,” she told Middle East Eye. 

“We saw tents on fire and then had to recover dismembered limbs and dead children.”
