‘All the people are hungry’: Voices from Gaza on desperate lack of food

The impoverished enclave, home to around two million Palestinians, has been grappling with severe food shortages exacerbated by conflict, political tensions, and economic challenges.
According to local residents, the situation has reached a critical point, with one individual stating, “All the people are hungry.” Families are struggling to put food on the table, as prices continue to soar and job opportunities remain scarce.
