Israeli jets targeted the Bureij refugee camp in Gaza this morning, Al Jazeera’s Mohamed Washa reports from the site.

Bombs began raining down around 6:05am while most residents were asleep, leading to a total “state of panic”, he said.

At least 15 houses were “completely destroyed” and more than 15 people have been killed, including children, he said, adding that many wounded are still trapped under the rubble.

“We have been destroyed,” said one resident who survived the attack. “We did nothing to deserve this… we were all sleeping.”

Residents are now working with their bare hands to rescue victims. There is no equipment or ambulances, they said.
