Video: Gaza mother describes dire situation

In Gaza, Palestinians are suffering due to the full siege imposed by Israel since 9 October, with the risk of starvation and dehydration running high. 

Aid efforts have also been hindered by Israel’s bombing of the Rafah crossing. 

People in Gaza have not had access to fuel, electricity, food or water for over two weeks. Journalists on the ground say that families queue up for up to ten hours to get bread, and often there isn’t any left.

One resident describes the situation on the ground. 

“There’s no bread…we have two loaves of bread for the family, the bread is stale, a family of ten people receives only two loaves,” she says.
