We Eat One Meal A Day in Gaza

The Palestinian reporter Bisan Owda says the situation in Gaza has become increasingly intolerable as Israeli forces cut off access to food and water and issue continuous evacuation orders, even as Palestinians have fewer options for seeking shelter.
“We feel it’s even harder because we do not have any place to go. At the beginning of the genocide, I fled my home and went to al-Shifa Hospital. I was displaced there, living with my family in the garden for a month. Now I don’t have any idea where to go if the place I am staying is evacuated. The Israeli army is posting evacuation orders more than once a day sometimes,” Owda told Al Jazeera.
“For two weeks I’ve been having one meal a day, because of Israel’s prevention of any food from entering Gaza for 77 days now. Just imagine — the doctors, the nurses, the civil defence, all of the emergency response workers, are all living with this. We’re overwhelmed, we’re so tired, we don’t have enough nutrition, our families are displaced, we’re facing all of this with our empty hands,” she added.

Over 9,000 aid trucks are blocked from entering Gaza as Israel continues to restrict access – with only five trucks allowed through amid growing humanitarian needs.
