“The children are in the bathroom, they are scared to watch”, said a woman who called me. “Their mother and their big brother have been killed and are in another room of the house. They are afraid to watch. Ambulances are prevented to evacuate them.” This happened in the old city of Bethlehem. Another call, “yes, we’ve heard that, we’re trying to get an ambulance there, but there are exchanges of fire nearby. The neighbors and some other relatives are now with the children.”
