The Massachusetts family stranded in Gaza are struggling to access drinking water, fuel and other resources as they try to stay safe and look for a way home.
The Massachusetts family stranded in Gaza amid the ongoing war between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists said they continue to struggle to access drinking water, fuel and other resources and are hoping for safety as they await updates from the U.S. government about a possible exit plan. Abood Okal, Wafa Abuzayda and their 1-year-old son, Yousef, were visiting family in Gaza when Hamas launched its largest attack against Israel on Oct. 7.
Connectivity in Gaza was increasingly difficult over the weekend after cellular and internet service was cut for much of the region starting on Friday amid a heavy Israeli bombardment. Service was not easy for the family to reach even before then due to reliance on solar-powered battery packs for their phones, but friends back home in Massachusetts had still been able to reach them several times a day. After service was cut, friends could only reach the family about once a day.
