Gaza: Kids screamed in the street as we ran away from the airstrike at 2 a.m

Gaza's only power plant is out of fuel, and medical and food supplies are running low after another night of hundreds of people running into the streets to get away from the constant airstrikes.

A neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday and told me to leave right away because my apartment was being searched.

The airstrikes by Israeli jets are now in their fifth day.

There is no way for the 2.3 million people who live in Gaza to leave the small territory, so their position is getting worse.

The government says that Gaza's only power plant stopped working fully on Wednesday at 14:00 local time (11:00 GMT).

After Hamas militants broke into the closed-off area violently on Monday, Israel cut off fuel and other vital supplies to the area.

Because Gaza doesn't have mains power, people there have to use generators to get energy. But it's also not possible to bring in fuel for generators.

Israeli bridges were closed, and Egypt had to close its only crossing point with Gaza because of airstrikes nearby. There isn't much chance of getting out of the area now.

That wasn't possible. I tried to get my family out because I didn't know what would happen here in the future.

Early Tuesday morning, I woke up my three kids and we all took our emergency kit with us and went to the hospital.

However, when we got there, hundreds of people were blocking the door. They were also looking for a place to stay the night.

Children who were only half awake screamed as they stumbled through the streets while rockets flew above them.

Hamas said Wednesday morning that nighttime attacks killed 30 people. More than 1,000 people in Gaza have died in the airstrikes in response.

The Israeli army said that in the last 24 hours, they had hit 450 targets in the Gaza strip.

Hamas militants crossed into Israel and attacked towns and cities in the south of the country, killing at least 1,200 Israelis. This is when the airstrikes started. About 150 people are being held hostage by Hamas.

On Monday, Israel said that Gaza was under a "complete siege" and that all food, fuel, power, and water would be cut off. We can now see the effects of that battle.

I saw a woman in a grocery store on Tuesday looking all over the shelves for milk for her baby. The store was empty, and she only had half a bottle left.

About 80% of people in Gaza were in need of humanitarian help before the latest war. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees said that since Saturday, at least a million people have not been able to get their food rations.

The WHO has asked for a humanitarian passage to be made available to get into the area. People here, on the other hand, don't think that will happen.

Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a well-known British-Palestinian doctor, told the BBC that Gaza's health system would fall apart in a week if help wasn't allowed.

"Every bed is taken." "Patients who need surgery can't get in because the operating rooms are full," he said, adding that this was the biggest attack he had seen in Gaza since he began working there more than 40 years ago.

"People are getting hurt in their own homes, and 30 to 40 percent of those hurt are children." Families as a whole are being brought in hurt... During war, you try to get people out of the hospital early so that beds can be made available for other patients, but "all of these patients have lost their homes, so you can't send them back out on the street," he said.

Leader of Hamas said he would not talk to Israel about prisoner deals in exchange for food and medicine. He also said he would not talk to Israel while the area was being attacked.

The head of the UN's human rights office said that sieges are against the law around the world. The killings by Hamas have also been condemned by the UN, which has asked them to free the prisoners they have taken.

Israel says it is not targeting civilians in Gaza, but the people who live there think that cutting off 2.3 million people's access to water, food, medical care, and electricity is a form of collective punishment.

In Gaza, people have seen war before, but this one feels different.
