April 09, 2002: The IDF has deployed a large number of troops and intense firepower in an effort to break the Palestinian resistance. Officers in the area have described the battle as a "Palestinian Masada," saying that there is a huge amount of destruction in the camp, and that the bodies of dozens of dead Palestinians are strewn in the streets. Leaning over drips nearly empty of fluid, Zahra al-Wawe worked without electricity, blood banks or ambulances, pleading for help over her mobile telephone until the battery ran dry, shouting: “We are losing them, we are losing them.”

Medical sources fear that at least 150 residents have been killed and the bodies are still lying in streets, alleyways and inside shelters and homes.
