A severely injured man in Gaza tells BBC he still goes out to get essentials despite the danger, as rockets continue to rain down on the territory.

Background

The BBC's Charlotte Walden says injured Gazan Ahmed Al-Attar was struck by shrapnel when a bomb dropped by Israeli troops hit his home.

He tells her it is a daily choice "between life and death" for him and his family, as they risk their lives to collect essentials.

What's next

With food and medical supplies running low, and the infrastructure shattered, the UN says the immediate humanitarian needs in Gaza are growing by the day.
