38,000 displaced Palestinians in Gaza calling for supplies

According to the UN, over 38,000 Palestinians have been internally displaced in Gaza as Israel continues intense bombardment. Hundred of families living in Gaza had to flee their homes overnight on Thursday, as heavy Israeli artillery shelling and aerial bombardment took place. The families escaped on foot for several kilometres to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). Basic necessities such as food, clothes, duvets, mattresses and milk are lacking. There is no clean drinking water or toilets. In its second week of bombardment by Israel, at least 201 Palestinians (including 58 children and 35 women) have been killed in Gaza. More than 1,300 others have been wounded. Israel has reported 10 people dead.
