People in Gaza are terrified, helpless, and devastated. The latest attacks come after 17 days of Israel’s blockade on aid into the strip, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports.

“So, people are already starving. They do not have access to food. The water desalination plant that was providing water for 500,000 Palestinians is not working any more. There is no medicine, no fuel, no cooking gas. Palestinians are struggling to live their daily lives,” the reporter said.

“And with all of this happening, Palestinians wake up to a massive series of attacks in different areas of Gaza,” she said.

“Everyone’s frightened, especially the little children who thought Ramadan was going to finish and they would be able to celebrate Eid for the first time without any air strikes,” Khoudary said.

“There are no words to describe it,” she concluded.
