Mourners on Tuesday are crying at the bodies of those killed in the airstrikes Monday night at Al Aksa Malters Hospital in Dayal Bala
It began as a normal night in Gaza, with the holy month of Ramadan already having people eating before dawn. After a 50 night ceasefire, life on the territory settled into a calm, relative rhythm.
But then the gunfire rats began and the explosion began. Then came the sound of people screaming.
Essam Abu Ode and his family were asleep when the war planes came again.
“Around 02:00 [midnight GMT]we suddenly woke up to the sound of heavy artillery fire,” he told the BBC’s Gaza Radio Service.
“My daughter woke up and warned me about the bomb. We quickly took shelter to the wall and were afraid that the tiled rub would fall on us.”
Israeli planes are torn from the north, cleans up strips, attack Gaza city in the centre, targeting further south of Rafa and Khan Yunis.
Hamas said the blitz Monday night killed more than 400 people, mostly women and children, local health officials said. They did not specify the number of combatants killed – Israel says it targeted Hamas commanders.
More than 600 people have been injured. Again, territorial hospitals are flooded, and night shift doctors are fighting a sudden influx of injuries.

The BBC met the family of one injured man, Ahmad Moyne Aljumra, at Alshifa Hospital in Gaza City. He was in the beach refugee camp in Al Arar when it was attacked.
“We were shocked that the area was targeted,” his sister says.
“From the night until the morning, we didn’t know if he was injured or not. Because the scene was horrifying and no one had the news. The whole building collapsed to everyone in the area.”
At 5:00 they pulled him out from under the roof rub. He was alive – but was rushed to the hospital with a fracture and brain injury.
His family also survived their own tests when their neighbours were attacked. “All of a sudden we found the house collapsed on us and the tiles fell from all directions,” his sister said.
“We tried to get out, we wanted to get away, but there was nothing. It was night and there was a sudden bombing of the house.”

“War suddenly resumed without warning,” says M, another Gaza resident.
He was awake for his Suhole, or pre-dawn meal, when his street was hit by gunfire and gunfire.
“A sense of fear wiped out the area,” he says. “Everyone was full of fear – we weren’t sure where to go or if we could be banished again.”
“The fear grabbed people again, especially as we were in the month of Ramadan,” he said.
Israel smacked Gaza throughout the morning, and the strike eased as the sun rose.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the attack, and his office said Hamas had not released more hostages to extend the ceasefire that had been held since late January or accepted the US proposal.
Since the first phase of the ceasefire ended earlier this month, fears of fighting reopening have resumed.
The White House on Monday night was explained by Israel before resuming the attack.
However, the people living in Gaza were blind. The return of the fighter shattered what was a two-month fragile peace.
“We were shocked that the war had started again, but at the same time, this is something we expect from the Israelites,” a resident of Jabaria al-Balad told BBC Arabic.
“We weren’t surprised. We’re always looking forward to this,” he says of the collapse of the ceasefire. “But the shock is huge – 200 people [people killed] In the instant. As a citizen, I am tired. We had enough – a year and a half for this! That’s enough,” he said.
Before the ceasefire in late January, Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire killed more than 46,000 Palestinians in Gaza, and the war lasted for 15 months.
Um Mohammed Abou Aisha, who lives in Deial Al Bala in East, was able to survive with his mother throughout that period.
However, her mother was killed on Tuesday morning. Her last memory is that she entered the kitchen saying she wanted to cook a morning meal.
“My mother wakes up as usual, prepares her Sue Hall meals, fast and fast, but not ready for the fight,” she told Reuters.

The strike struck their neighbor’s home and blew up the nearby area, she said.
She questioned the supposed state of peace. “Life is getting harder and there are no ceasefires or ceasefires.”
“There’s a sniper [stationed] Continuous strikes every day in front of the citizens. Nothing agreed [in the ceasefire].
Another resident, Mohammed Budale, said his daughter had been killed – their streets were bombed while the whole family was asleep.
“[We] Suddenly awakened by a strike, they attacked our neighbor… We found this girl under the tile rub and we pulled her mother and father from under the tile rub. ”
He later found his daughter’s body there as well, he told AFP news agency.

Southeast of Gaza City, 25-year-old Lamez Alamarin explained that he would be transporting his child to the hospital.
“They unleashed the hellish fire again in Gaza,” he told AFP, adding, “The bodies and limbs are on the ground, and the injured cannot find a doctor to treat them.”
Hospital authorities in Gaza said many patients being transported to the BBC suffer from severe head injuries, bleeding, burns and fractures.
“The attacks were so sudden that the scale of these massive strikes had insufficient medical staff,” said Dr. Mohammed Zakout, director of the hospital on Gaza Strip.
He points out that after 15 months of war, there are only seven hospitals that can operate across the territory at this time. And despite the ceasefire, very few medical supplies were allowed to Gaza.
Another doctor described the situation as catastrophic. There is a serious shortage of medical and surgical equipment, intensive care units, medications and medications.
“Even medical staff are completely exhausted after more than a year and a half of continuous emergency work,” said Dr. Muhammad Absalmiya.
“We’ve seen many injured people lose their lives right in front of us just because there’s no way we could provide medical supplies or care.”
He called Israel’s actions at dawn “a massacre of sleeping civilians in the Gaza Strip.”
The most hospitalized ever took place at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in the south. People were rushing on stretchers with the injured.
The body, covered in white sheets, was also taken to the hospital morgue. The family was gathering on the street for a funeral.
This morning, his father, Essam, woke up to his young daughter, says he is begging the country to mediate him to put an end to their suffering.
“We don’t want to resume war. We can live and sleep without fear in search of peace,” he told the BBC.
