The hand was covered in dust, streaked with blood on the fingers and wrist, all that could be seen of the person who was killed.

Like many other victims of the Israeli air strikes they lie buried under the rubble - this time in Gaza City, in the north.

A teenage boy was pulled from the first floor of a collapsed building. As his feet and legs emerged it looked as if he might be alive.

But then the whole body was lifted free, and flopped lifelessly in the arms of the rescuers.
