10-Year-Old Gaza Boy from Al-Zaytoun Struggles to Find Food as Family Faces Month-Long Bread Shortage and Contaminated Flour

Mohammad Abu Asi, a 10-year-old boy from Al-Zaytoun in Gaza, has been struggling to find food amid ongoing famine conditions in the region. He reported not having eaten since morning and was seen clutching a small bag of flour he had scraped off the ground, which was mixed with dust. Mohammad's family has not had bread for a month, and with his father sick, he ventured out early in the morning hoping to find food for his younger siblings but returned empty-handed. The dire food scarcity extends to families receiving flour that is contaminated with mold, worms, and weevils. These accounts highlight the severe humanitarian crisis affecting Gaza, where basic necessities such as flour and bread are unavailable and families face extreme hunger and deprivation.
