Gazan rescuers on Tuesday pulled the body of a four-year-old girl and other dead from the rubble of a municipal building where she and many others were sheltering, and which was damaged during an Israeli air strike.
The girl was named as Shahid Abu Rokbah, and rescuers said her family fled from east of the Khan Younis district to inside the city in search of safety, only to be killed.
He and others dug through the rubble of the building, which housed shops in its ground floor, with hand tools to avoid injuring anyone still alive. A building nearby was also knocked down.
