When conflict started on 7 October, life modified dramatically in a single day for mother-of-four Hala, because it did for the greater than two million Palestinians who stay within the Gaza Strip. She saved a diary of her experiences and shared it with the UN humanitarian company (OCHA).
It recounts her struggles to seek out security in an deserted house within the southern metropolis of Rafah, her makes an attempt to stay in touch along with her household amid communications and electrical energy cuts, and the shortage of meals and sanitation.
You possibly can learn the diary entries, with pictures of Hala and her household in Gaza, here.
