“Emergency sirens are blaring through the night, and we are living in fear,” Prameela Prabhu, 41, a native of Udupi district in Karnataka, told The Hindu over phone. She is among the Indians who are stranded in Israel, which is facing an attack by Palestinian group Hamas
Ms Prabhu moved to Israel six years ago to work as a healthcare provider in a hospital in Tel Aviv-Yafo. “While my locality hasn’t been heavily impacted by the war, just two days ago, bombings occurred just one kilometre away, destroying all buildings and houses. Since then, we’ve been living in fear. Over the last two days, sirens have been blaring, and we rush to the bunkers in the basement. Due to the closure of shops and grocery stores, there’s a shortage of groceries at home. The situation is worsening with each passing day,” she said.
