Shujayea: Massacre at Dawn
Al Jazeera English has broadcast a powerful documentary highlighting the terrifying moments Palestinian civilians flee during an Israeli ground offensive in the densely populated district of Shujayea, Gaza City.
Shujayea: Massacre at Dawn was produced by Al Jazeera Arabic, and subtitled for English-speaking audiences.
It features raw and intense footage of Palestinian civilians fleeing the area after Israel’s intensified ground offensive on July 20.
The documentary includes the now infamous footage of the shooting of a young civilian in a green T-shirt, shot as he tries to collect the dead, and exclusive new footage by local filmmakers and Al Jazeera Arabic Correspondent Wael Al Dahdouh and the crew in the Gaza office.
The raw and powerful footage captures the terrifying experience of Palestinian civilians on the ground. As circulated in media, Al Dahdouh broke down in tears during his news report on this offensive. The footage shows what he had witnessed that day.
The disturbing images include numerous families running for their lives, desperately seeking loved ones amid the chaos and rubble, as well as wounded children in hospital.
“My son is gone!” screams a mother as she runs down a street, while moments later the teenager hops into view with a bloodied leg.
He is carried away by another on his back, as is the terrified elderly father of another family, who is picked up and carried by his son amid the tumult.
Others are not so lucky, with one stretcher-bearer felled by bullets, and killed in front of the camera.
This is the young man in a green T-shirt, whose images have been circulating on social media.
Giles Trendle, Director of Programmes, Al Jazeera English, said: “This is gripping footage of life on the ground for Palestinian civilians under heavy bombardment.
“It’s also a solemn reminder, if one were needed, about the desperate plight of the Palestinian people and the need to address the root causes of this ongoing conflict. The Peninsula

No worries brother. I know you didn't mean it that way. Its all good. Let's make dua Allah will send true Muslim leaders who could stand up to Israel and its supplier US. This world needs another Salahuddin.
And the spokesperson of Israel, Mr. President Obama has promised Netanyahu," America is your ally and we will cover your back." Shame !

First of all, This is not the first time Israel is showing this level of inhumanity. We now have this available to us via social media so we now how a higher degree of insight into Israel's brutality. Secondly, please avoid using words like "Counter Strike". That gives people an impression that Israel is doing everything in response. Nothing could be further from the truth. We need to stop agreeing with Israel's rhetoric.
feeling sad we are become help less infront of zionism.let the world to know the cruelty of Israel and backed US .
I have no words to explain feelings and seems that Israel is playing live counter-strike in the streets of Gaza. Many of us watch it like a live-technology show. I feel Palestinian is the real looser who not only have lack of security, economy but also not have any safe border where as the Israel surrounded by rich Arab countries can do any state crime and no one stops it but also supporting to save their governments... May Allah Make these Arab rulers to wake-up which are not silent but some are directly supporting this victimization.
This open aggression is slum on UN, OIC and So called modern democratic world, if they feels.
May Allah Blessed Palestinians children, brothers, Sisters and Mothers and give him courage to pass through this tough time. Also God bless Qatar and Al-Jazeerah TV with stands with truth in this blind world.
Really heart touching video..May their soul rest in peace...Israel is showing the extreme level of creulty.
