Ward Jalal al-Sheikh Khalil was sleeping in a Gaza City school-turned-shelter when she woke up to the sound of Israeli strikes.
The attack on the Fahmi al-Jerjawi school hit a classroom, setting it on fire alongside adjacent tents.
The young Palestinian girl managed to escape alive, only after witnessing her mother and four siblings burn to death.
"I received a phone call after midnight telling me the school where my brother and his family had taken shelter was bombed," her uncle, Iyad Muhammed al-Sheikh Khalil, told Middle East Eye.
"I was horrified and wanted to rush there immediately, but I couldn’t. The bombing was still intense and it was completely dark."
