Residents in Gaza have said that the people in the strip are facing “multiple crises” and the living conditions are “dire”, Al Jazeera reports.

In an interview with the Qatari news agency, one of the residents said that after 100 days of bombardment, their life is hard and they are facing multiple crises from food to water.

“Our living conditions are dire. Prices are soaring. We are living in tents in this fiercely cold weather. One day passes as if it were a year. We pray to God for a better tomorrow,” they said.

“I believe those are the harshest 100 days mankind has ever lived since the creation of this universe,” said one resident adding that they cannot “find the most basic necessities of life”.
