shelling

"The chances of rescuing more wounded are decreasing because of the continuous shooting and artillery shelling," civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal said.

“But now, whenever there’s shelling, she points and says, ‘plane!’

Ben Dusing, who runs the aid centre, says drones spread even more fear than shelling, immobilising the population.

“Instead of receiving aid we receive tanks. Tanks that are shelling the building,” he says.

“The shelling grew closer and intensified each day, with Israeli forces advancing towards us. Today, we heard bombings very near... We feared for our lives,” Saleh said.
