A nine-year-old Palestinian, Saja Zoughroub, has spoken about her experience after her house was blasted during Israel air strikes, leaving her the sole survivor of her family. 

'We were asleep', she said . 'Some were watching TV'.

'When I woke up, I was in the ambulance' ...That's what I remember.'

Saja's uncle says her family had hoped to find refuge from Israeli strikes at an aunt's house, in Rafah.

"We got a phone call that the house had been attacked, it was a house full of women and children; there were no members of the resistance inside it. They attacked it using an F16 (plane), without even warning them. "

Gaza officials say the war has killed close to 1,900 Palestinians, mostly civilians.
