Palestinians are searching for loved ones amidst ruins and total darkness, as night falls and Israel cut all power to the besieged enclave.

Health officials have raised concerns that this could have serious consequences on wounded individuals seeking treatment in hospitals.
Israel has continued to bombard Gaza in response to earlier exchanges of attacks today.
