UN agencies are warning that more than a million Palestinians in Gaza could experience the highest level of starvation by mid-July.
Due to lack of food and aid coming in, hunger is worsening. Israel has maintained its blockade on humanitarian access into the Strip.
“We can hardly find a loaf of bread and if available we eat just bread without any other food item,” said Saber Ahmad Sihweal, a Gaza resident.
“We don’t have an income and even then, there is nothing to buy. We cannot afford a decent meal. My children and I eat only a loaf of bread and only once a day.”
There are 11 members of the Sihweal family and they live in Beit Lahiya in the north. Sihweal is struggling to keep his children alive, even when they escape death from Israel’s near-constant attacks.
“The fridge is completely empty, not even water. My children are starving to death. It’s now infested with insects and cockroaches. There is nothing at all. The pans are empty.”
