23-year-old blogger Sameh Habeeb reports on the continued fighting in Gaza City where the homes of his relatives have been hit, and his home has been damaged by shrapnel. His family is now debating leaving their neighborhood but there’s no safe place to go. He also weighs in on the media coverage about the tunnels in Gaza, which have been used for smuggling weapons, but also goods and food for civilians. Most tunnels are now shut since the war and the black market for food distribution has been impacted.

Sameh Habeeb’s blog is GazaToday.
