More than 2 million people live in the Gaza Strip, which is facing a punishing counterattack from Israel.
Experts say Gaza is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis, and people are running out of basic supplies.
The crisis is exacerbated by the fact that Gaza has been restricted under blockade for 16 years.
So far, thousands have been killed or injured in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank and in Israel.
Groups are begging for the establishment of humanitarian corridors to bring in much-needed supplies to the trapped region.
