Diary of a Jenin family, hiding in the kitchen from Israel’s assault

From her kitchen, Saja Bawaqneh, 29, recounts the first day of Israel’s raid into the West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp.
Saja Bawaqneh and six relatives have been hiding, terrified, in a corner of the family home’s kitchen since late Tuesday, August 27.
There is an Israeli assault going on outside in the occupied West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp – bigger and more vicious than the recurring attacks they got used to.
The power is out, there’s no water. They’re pretty sure Israeli soldiers severed the main lines.
Rationing the water they have, they worry because they called for help but nobody could come because tanks and soldiers are everywhere.
The Israeli army attacked Jenin, Nablus, Tubas and Tulkarem, killing at least 20 Palestinians and wounding many more.
