A bomb could be heard approaching and exploding outside the building Zaynab Wandawi was in while she spoke with the PA news agency.
A British national in Gaza has said a bomb that exploded nearby during an interview is “just a glimpse” of what she and her family are going through every day in the war-torn territory.
“Hundreds of those every day, and every time we hear a bomb we think: ‘Oh, who was affected by that bomb?’Ms Wandawi said thousands of Palestinians have died while she has been there, while their access to water and fuel has also been cut. “Their internet signal is very weak. So I wait for a message from her in the morning to see if she’s made it through the night, and as soon as I get a message there’s a temporary relief, but then as soon as her internet goes, I don’t know what’s happening,” she told PA.
Ms Wandawi said that they had planned to leave on October 17, and added that her husband’s brother is in high school, while his sister had just started at the University of Manchester, and had booked to return on October 12 in order to not miss school or university.
