Gaza is now under siege as the Israeli military is retaliating to the surprise attack by Hamas militants.
The conflict is now the focus of the world and has caused almost 2,000 deaths on both sides, including children, and more injured and kidnapped.It has now been four days since the fighting started, and the war between Israel and Hamas has now claimed at least 1,900 lives. On the Israeli side, civilians are now sharing their stories.
"We're still processing it. There's no going back from this. How can we go back to live in that beautiful place when we know what happened there and all the people that we knew that we saw on the pavements every day going from the kindergarten and back then, how can we just keep going on like nothing ever happened? And at this point, I'm in a numb state and I'm just disconnected from everything.
As the conflict becomes the focus of the world, the United States is reacting. President Joe Biden has decided to send Secretary of State Antony Blinken to the region, a strong sign, as Mr Blinken is the country's top diplomat. "This was an act of sheer evil. Civilians slaughtered. Not just killed, slaughtered. Among them at least 14 American citizens killed. Parents butchered, using their bodies to try to protect their children, entire families slain. Young people massacred while attending a musical festival to celebrate peace. Families hid their fear for hours and hours, desperately trying to keep their children quiet, to avoid drawing attention. You all know these traumas never go away.
