In Gaza, famine is a dire reality. Children like Noor and Ezz Aldin represent the innocent victims, living in a world where basic food items are nonexistent. They experience hunger without understanding the surrounding conflict or politics. Noor longs for chocolates and biscuits, while Ezz Aldin simply asks for bread, highlighting their desperation. The silence of the world regarding this crisis exacerbates the suffering. Parents struggle to explain the absence of food to their children, emphasizing the tragic impacts of the Israeli occupation on everyday life in Gaza.
"Famine has already arrived in Gaza. It is not a metaphor, nor is it a prediction. It is daily. It is the child who wakes up asking for biscuits that no longer exist."
"Even Ezz, who's only known war and ruins, understands. He's never seen real food in his life. He doesn't know what options are. The only thing he ever asks for is bread."
