Life in Gaza under intense shelling and a communications blackout

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.

You can find coverage of all sides of this conflict at npr.org/mideastupdates.
