This is a translation of an Al-Jazeera Arabic report of one of the first pieces of footage to emerge from the Shejaiya district of Gaza where more than 100 people were killed in an Israeli assault on Saturday night and Sunday morning:

00:00 [Anchor]: Here is the early footage of today’s massacre

00: 12 [People]: Hurry up, Hurry up

00:17 Can you see? Come. Come

00:18 Wait…Wait, Let the children pass first

00: 29 Oh My God

00: 42 This is the footage of the Shejaiya massacre perpetrated this morning. It’s horrific footage. 

00:54 Bodies of the dead are spread across the streets in Shejaiya neighborhood which witnessed a massacre. According to Medical sources in Al Shifa hospital 40 people were killed and more than 400 have been wounded. (Al Jazeera estimates now raise the number to over 100 hundred dead)

01:10 Also, there are a number of bodies here resulting from the barbaric Israeli bombardment early at dawn today; in the bombed areas but can’t be reached.

01: 27 The head of Al Shifa hospital has just stated that there are many bodies under the rubble and may be many survivors under the rubble.

01:38 If the paramedics don’t have access to those trapped survivors within the next few hours, the number of the dead and wounded will rise.

01: 53 So this is the most recent massacre perpetrated by Israel. For 12 days, Israel has been waging an aggression and military operations.

02: 07 So these are the bodies of those killed in this new Israeli massacre in the Shejaiya area this morning, which targeted Palestinian civilians in Gaza Strip.

02: 26 Our correspondent in Al Shifa hospital in Gaza, Tamir Al Mishal, has been observing the attitudes of some of Shejaiya neighborhood residents who just arrived at the hospital with their dead and wounded.

02:45 We just listened to a lady who was describing the horror they witnessed.

00: 50 Tamir…Tamir

02: 54 Tamir, we just spoke with head of Al Shifa hospital. He said there are some trapped people and bodies in Shejaiya  neighbourhood. Any update about reaching them?

3:10 The correspondent: the situation is very tense. Targeting paramedics makes it very difficult. One paramedic was killed, 5 ambulances were directly hit. Bodies are in the streets.

3: 22 We speak to people who come from that area and see the bodies.

3:23: What did you witness?

 3:28 Woman: Bodies are in the streets.
