ALBSWABA - In the aftermath of a grueling night, the resilient citizens of Gaza remain steadfast, determined to survive despite the dire circumstances.

Gaza City - In an unprecedented display of resilience, the people of Gaza find themselves enduring an intense and devastating conflict unlike any they've experienced in years. With essential services such as electricity, water, and fuel severed, and their isolation from the world due to a complete disruption of internet and communication services last night, they have had no choice but to adapt and find innovative ways to endure.

The night that just passed saw the residents of Gaza enduring one of the most relentless periods of the ongoing conflict. Israeli airstrikes persisted throughout the night, and the population found itself cut off from the world, with internet and communication lines completely down.

As dawn broke on a new day, the people of Gaza embarked on a quest for survival, refusing to yield to despair or accept their fate. Our correspondent, Hani Al-Shaer, was on the ground to document the resilience of Gaza's residents. They have resorted to unconventional means to sustain life, including the use of firewood for cooking and procuring food, as depicted in the video below.
