Israel-Gaza war: ’They cut us off from the world’ | Gaza Diaries

More than 10,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel declared war on Hamas, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Israel is responding to the Hamas attacks on 7 October that killed 1,400 citizens, including at least 31 children, and where 240 Israelis were kidnapped and taken into Gaza. Using mobile phone footage filmed in Gaza, five people, Farida, an English teacher; Khalid, a medical supplier; Abdelhakim, a software engineer; and Adam, a youth worker, share the reality of trying to survive daily Israeli air strikes and a humanitarian crisis that’s spiralling out of control. Raw and emotional testimonies illustrate the impossible choices they face, the losses they endure, and the lives they see destroyed all around them. 0:00 Intro 02:44 October 9th – Israeli fighter jets strike 04:57 October 9 – Imposing a complete siege on 2.2 million people 06:52 October 13 – The IDF drop leaflets warning 1.1 million people in the north to evacuate 08:06 October 14 – Farida leav
