Normally the village of Beit Hanoun has 50 000 inhabitants. Today many of them are dead, injured or homeless. When a short humanitarian truce is proclaimed hundreds of people rush back to try to salvage belongings and collect their dead. A pungent smell of death is everywhere. Large swaths of the area is totally destroyed. Bodies are buried under the rubble and the streets are littered with dead animals. The Israeli drones are constantly humming above. A block away from the destroyed hospital Diab Ahmed Kafara shouts out his anger over the war.
