He witnessed what many are calling a massacre…and then was left for days amidst the dead bodies of his mother and 4 brothers. The horror 16-year old Ahmed Samouni has seen was hard for him to put into words but the effects are written all over his face.SOT Ahmed Samouni“It was the third missile I remember. The other ones had killed my elder brother and injured people, they kept bleeding. But the third missile, that killed them all. My brother was bleeding so much and right infront of my eyes he died. My other brother Ismail, he also bled to death (crys)..and my mum and my youngest brother, they are gone. 4 brothers and my mother, dead. May God give them peace”These are the scenes from last Wednesday when paramedics brought back the dead and injured from the Samouni and other houses nearby, after they had spent 4 days trapped in their home.According to their accounts, partly corroborated with the Red Cross and the United Nations, Israeli soldiers raided their homes and then huddled the extended family together into one house. They then shelled and dropped missiles around the house. 30 members of the Samouni family were killed.SOT Ahmed Samouni“We were put in an ambulance. But there were still people inside the house, dead and injured. For days we all bled. We were so hungry..i remember giving my brother Isaac a tomato to eat before he died.”We tracked down the ambulance driver who rescued Ahmed….The Red Cross were denied access by the Israeli Army to the area for four days, and are still being prevented from going bacK and getting the rest of the dead despite repeated requests.SOT MOHAMED EL HALBY - PARAMEDIC“On the day we got permission, the Army told us to leave the ambulances around 2 km from the house. So we walked and all around us we could see they had bulldozed the area. The houses we passed had Israeli soldiers standing on the roofs. We went inside and heard screams coming from one room. There were about 15 people inside, 2 were dead the rest sitting around them. That was just one room.”Mohamed took us to see Ahmed’s cousins who he also rescued that day from the Samouni house….6 year-old Abdullah was trapped inside the same house as Ahmed, surrounded by his dead cousins and uncles….terrified and distraught he could hardly speak to us… there was no food or water he told me….we only had tomoatoes…what happened to your family I asked..they were infront of me, dead and I was just looking at them he said.Abdullah’s father, Wael escaped on the first day of the Israeli raid. For four days he thought his son was dead.SOT WAEL SAMOUNI“I didn’t know what to do, I still don’t…look at him he is so ill, they are all terrified. He cries all the time. His shoulder is hurt and it has infection but he cant stand the smell, he cries when he looks and smells his wounds. And his leg, look. I want to take him out of Gaza for treatment and I want to be able to go back to the house and get the rest of my family so that I can bury them.”Al Jazeera tried to get to the family’s house, but it wasn’t safe...
