TL;DR Summary

The Israeli town of Sderot, home to over 35,000 residents, has been largely deserted after Hamas militants launched an attack that has killed over 1,300 people in Israel. Most civilians have been evacuated, but a few survivors remain, including a Ukrainian immigrant caring for a Holocaust survivor and eight guest workers from China. The town has been heavily damaged, with buildings destroyed and bodies left unrecognizable. Meanwhile, in the nearby Gaza Strip, over 1,500 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli airstrikes, with the 2 million residents trapped and unable to flee.
