Ahmed Kaluth, Rescuer: For seven days in a row, Israel's devastating war machine has not stopped, destroying all signs of life in the Jabaliya refugee camp. As you know, if we had tools and heavy machinery, we could have rescued all the survivors. Unfortunately, under the existing conditions, we are unable to rescue some of the survivors under the rubble. They could die at any time because we don't have rescue tools and machinery.
