The article highlights the severe famine in Gaza, emphasizing the struggle of families to cope with rising food prices and scarcity. After the closure of crossings, expected to last only two weeks, families faced a situation where staple foods became unaffordable. The scramble for limited resources led to lengthy queues outside bakeries and charity kitchens, with many only able to access bread or minimal food. This dire situation not only affected adults but also posed challenges in explaining the crisis to children, highlighting the emotional toll of the famine.
In the days after the closure, food and other basic goods disappeared from the markets, and prices skyrocketed, causing families to reduce meal consumption drastically.
Men, women, elderly people and children would stand in front of bakeries and charity kitchens for hours, just to get a few loaves of bread or a small plate of food.
