Raad Abu Seif held his 12-year-old daughter in his arms as she died after she was shot in the stomach as she stood several metres from a window.
"I stroked Safa's hair," said Mr Abu Seif, his voice hoarse. "And then her eyes rolled backwards in her head."
"I tried to massage her heart for a minute, two minutes, three minutes, I don't remember. And then I felt there was nothing."
Mr Abu Seif, 40, described how his extended family had bunkered down inside their home in the Zimo Square area of Jabaliya when it was infiltrated by Israeli ground troops supported by tanks in the early hours of Saturday.
