Amid Gaza's hunger crisis, Palestinians fight to survive DW 07/25/2025
Briefly

The displaced population in Gaza endures immense anxiety and exhaustion amid constant bombardment. Food scarcity is a major issue, with families like Raed al-Athamna’s struggling to find basic supplies. Al-Athamna expresses despair, describing the current situation as dire, with children crying for bread and adults overwhelmed by hunger. Reports indicate that almost 88% of Gaza faces evacuation orders or is designated as a military zone, severely limiting access to humanitarian aid. The humanitarian crisis worsens, leading international organizations to raise alarms over the critical lack of supplies.
"The day revolves around thinking about where to find food for my family," said Raed al-Athamna, a displaced Palestinian father in Gaza City.
"There is nothing to eat. There is no bread, as I cannot afford to buy flour. It is too expensive," said al-Athamna.
International health and aid organizations have repeatedly sounded the alarm over conditions and the lack of vital supplies in Gaza during the 21-month conflict.
"I am here with my grandkids, they are crying, they keep saying: We want a piece of bread.' And if you cannot give them anything, they don't understand. This breaks your heart."
