"These missiles are very powerful. They destroy human beings.""There is nobody left and small pieces left behind. Pieces. Whatever is left is just little pieces of bodies and cloth."
A doctor who treated drone victims described how "skin is burned so that you can't tell cattle from humans." Another family survivor at the same site said his father was killed. "The entire place looked as if it was burned completely, so much so that even (the victims') own clothes had burnt."
