Episode: Life in Gaza under intense shelling and a communications blackout
Description: Israel has expanded its war with Hamas, stepping up attacks from the air and sending troops into Gaza. For 34 hours communication was cut off in Gaza, we hear our producer in there describe what the scene was like. And a group of workers from Gaza who were trapped in Israel when the fighting started, worry about their loved ones and wish they could go home.
