Video. Gaza families struggle for food as Israel's blockade continues

Updated:

Palestinians in Gaza face severe food shortages due to Israel’s blockade, forcing many to rely on charities for meals. Aid groups warn that famine risks are rising despite previous ceasefire gains.

A charity in northern Gaza has been distributing hot meals to war-weary Palestinians during Ramadan, as they struggle to feed their families under Israel’s two-week blockade of Gaza. Many have turned to aid groups for food.

“We were forced to come to the charity due to the scarcity of materials,” said Hassan Radwan from Jabaliya refugee camp, where many live in tents over destroyed homes.

Aid groups warn that famine risks are rising, despite gains made during a recent ceasefire.
