Reham Alkahlout, a psychological counselor and mother in Gaza, experiences intense anxiety as she navigates the increasingly scarce market conditions. With prices for essential goods like flour and cooking oil soaring dramatically, families are left struggling to meet basic needs. Reports indicate that around 470,000 residents are in a state of acute malnutrition, with the entire region classified as being in an emergency state. A total blockade since early March further exacerbates the food crisis, leading experts to warn of imminent famine conditions throughout the enclave.
Dr. John Kahler, who worked closely on the situation in Gaza, stated, 'The first symptom of hunger is pain,' highlighting the immediate impact of the ongoing crisis.
'Famine, which has loomed over the enclave for much of the 19-month war, is now imminent,' according to international aid organizations, painting a dire picture of food insecurity.
