Israeli air strikes hit a school in Gaza's Deir al-Balah on Sunday, killing at least six people.
A resident who survived the attack recalled the horrifying moment the bomb hit.
"We were charging our phones in the yard when out of nowhere, a bomb was dropped on us," the man, who did not give a name, told Middle East Eye.
"This is a school full of children and elderly people. They told us to move to Deir al-Balah and that's why we came here. They said this school is safe. Is this what safety looks like?
"Not a single man was in the room that was hit, only women and children and we recovered them as dismembered corpses. Where are the people of conscience? Wake up."
