Trapped in Gaza: One Family's Struggle for Survival
A family from Medway, Massachusetts, remains trapped in Gaza as the Israel-Hamas war escalates, despite assurances of an evacuation plan. Abood Okal, Wafaa Abuzayda, and their 1-year-old son, Yousef, are desperate for a way out as they try to stay alive amidst the conflict. They are running low on drinking water and rely on local vendors or filtration stations. The family has received no official updates from the U.S. State Department regarding their departure. They remain hopeful but are struggling psychologically. Israel has expanded its ground operation in Gaza, causing widespread destruction and a rising death toll. Civilians in Gaza are facing dire conditions, with food, water, and electricity supplies running out.
