It's a region that's been besieged for decades, and where living conditions were already dire.
Now, after more than a week of Israeli bombardment, Gaza is on the brink of a deepening humanitarian crisis.
More than 212 Palestinians have been killed - including at least 61 children.
Hospitals are overwhelmed and running low on medical supplies.
UN schools are full of thousands of people who've fled for their lives with little to survive on.
Clinics, including one run by Doctors Without Borders, have been damaged, and water, power and food are all in short supply.......

One Israeli air raid hit the Qatar Red Crescent Society office in Gaza.
