Palestinians in Ireland have described their fear as they await daily news from loved ones in Gaza.
Officials in Gaza have estimated that more than 1,400 people have been killed and more than 6,000 wounded since Israel began its bombardment of the region.
This has left the families of those living in the anxiously waiting for contact with loved ones each day. Ms Mofeed now lives in Dublin with her husband, and works as a software architect. Two of her brothers, who are also Irish, are currently in Gaza. "He's a human, I'm happy that he is helping, but I am very concerned about his emotions and how he is feeling," she said."One of my friends who was with me in university was killed with her three kids, this is very hard," Ms Mofeed said.
Mr Al Ostaz said some of his friends have been killed and he is worried for the welfare of his family. Mr Al Ostaz said strikes are hitting lots of different places, and that he"feels so bad" as he is unable to help.
