　　参考译文：

　　据巴勒斯坦卫生官员称，加沙武装冲突已造成500多人死亡。联合国安理会号召以色列和哈马斯立即停止在加沙的交战。周日是冲突双方死亡最惨重的一天。周六晚以色列开始进行猛烈的炮火进攻，平民死亡人数急剧上升。

　　我现在还能听到三千米外加沙城东区以色列的猛烈炮轰。今天早晨在加沙南部，有两个家庭死于以色列空袭。巴勒斯坦激进分子也发动了进攻，他们企图通过两条地道，跨境进攻以色列南部。现在，我的同事保罗•亚当斯已出发前往加沙城东部，报道当地的战事情况。他去往一处居民区，那里正在遭受间断性的轰炸

　　这里一直在遭受轰炸。你可以看到被炸毁的马路，而且整个地区已经没有人了。

　　太恐怖了。我们每天睡在地上，缺吃少喝，孩子们更可怜。每天晚上都有导弹轰炸。

　　接受采访的这位妇女，她的经历很典型。她在家里，因为炮轰不得不和家人逃到联合国开办的学校寻求庇护。为了保全性命，许多人都逃到了学校。联合国数据显示，约八万人居住在大约44所联合国学校中。局势十分复杂。她想回家取一些生活必需品，却发现无法安全到达。局势很危险。你可以看到整个城市的人们都在跑东跑西找避难所，找食物和水，但同时也不知道该往哪走。保罗•亚当斯报道。

　　能不能描述一下当地人怎样看待美国国务卿约翰•克里前往开罗参与停战谈判的?

　　当然，这是停止以色列和巴勒斯坦激进分子两周交战的最高级别的举动。目前看来，这确实给加沙普通民众带来了一丝希望的曙光。
