Long queues formed outside a charity kitchen in Gaza City on Sunday as desperate families carrying empty pots waited for a ladle of watery soup.

In Gaza City, queues stretch endlessly outside makeshift kitchens. Amid the wreckage of war, residents say they have gone days without a proper meal. Parents, clutching empty pots, wait for a ladle of soup that may be their children's only meal.

Many families, like that of Dina Jendiya, rely entirely on food distributions, fearing their children will starve if aid stops.

Since the war began last October, food prices have soared. A kilo of flour costs up to ten times its usual price. Aid is scarce, and desperation grows.

Meanwhile, Israeli shelling struck tents in Khan Younis, killing several and wounding dozens. Hospitals are overwhelmed, with children among the injured as medical staff warn they are struggling to cope.
