3:30Now PlayingPalestinians living abroad have accused Microsoft of closing their email accounts without warning - cutting them off from crucial online services.
They say it has left them unable to access bank accounts and job offers - and stopped them using Skype, which Microsoft owns, to contact relatives in war-torn Gaza.
Microsoft says they violated its terms of service - a claim they dispute.
The internet is frequently disrupted or switched off there because of the Israeli military campaign - and standard international calls are very expensive.
Israel launched its offensive in Gaza in response to the Hamas attack on 7 October, which killed about 1,200 people.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 38,000 people have been killed in the war.
