"They're getting a little bit worse every day," Julia Beseiso said, adding that her mother, sister, nephew, and several other relatives are among those trapped."They had them waiting there for six hours, everybody waiting at the border for six hours. This was last night actually, and they started bombing again," Beseiso said."All fuel stations are cut off, so they're going to run out of gas soon if they keep making these back-and-forth trips.
Resources in Gaza are becoming increasingly scarce, as the family rations bread and medical supplies.
