A figure stretches out its hands in an unyielding inferno. The creature seems to be trying to free itself from some kind of hose, perhaps a drip hose, but struggles in vain.

The video, which has spread widely on social media, was filmed in the moments after Israel's attack on al-Aqsa hospital in Dayr al-Balah on Monday.

The person caught in the flames is 19-year-old Shaban al-Dalu, reports Sky News. In a few days, he would have turned 20.

Shaban al-Dalu was one of many Palestinians who had taken refuge in the hospital area during the war. In a video he himself published on YouTube in February, he said that he and his family – parents and six children – had been forced to flee five times since the outbreak of war in October 2023.

At Monday's air raid, he was being treated, according to Sky News, for injuries he had sustained about a week earlier.

His 16-year-old brother Mohammed, who identified the 19-year-old in the clip, tells the media company that he started running towards his brother but was stopped by people around him.

I said "but my brother is burning! My brother is burning! Please let me go". But they didn't let me. My brother burned alive in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything to help him.

The brothers' mother is also said to have been killed in the inferno.

According to Sky News, the al-Aqsa hospital area has been bombed six times over the past year. Israel claims that Monday's attack was directed at terrorists who operated a command and control center near the hospital.
