Over 300 Killed and 900 wounded in attacks on Gaza
57 of those killed were civilians, including 5 young sisters asleep in their bedsDr Eyad Al Serraj, a practising psychologist in Gaza City, describes his family's terror as the Israeli attack began:
"The bombing went on for about 10 minutes. It was like an earthquake on top of your head. The windows were shaking and squeaking. My 10-year-old was terrified, he was jumping from one place to another trying to hide. I held him tight to my chest and tried to give him some security and reassure him. My 12-year-old was panicking and began laughing hysterically, it's not normal. I held her hand and calmed her and told her she would be safe. My wife was panicking. She was running around the apartment looking for somewhere to hide."
