Nearly 40 days after Israel shattered the ceasefire and reimposed a near-total blockade on aid shipments, prices for food, fuel, medicine and other essential goods are skyrocketing in Gaza. The U.N. says 60,000 children are at risk of malnutrition, with people forced to forage for food as community kitchens run dry.
Neama Farjalla: “I swear to God, if we don’t die from airstrikes, we will die of hunger. We are not safe. The whole world, listen to us, we are really not safe. We move from one soup kitchen to another with danger. I swear to God, they are striking everywhere. If I don’t die in these strikes, I will die of hunger with my children. What shall we do? Where shall we go? Look at us. Find us a solution. We’ve been in this torture for a year and a half. We are tired.”
