Mohammad Abu Asi and Gaza Children Face Starvation Amid Flour Shortages and Blockade

The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate amid ongoing conflict and blockade, leading to widespread food shortages and starvation. Ten-year-old Mohammad Abu Asi from Al-Zaytoun has been unable to find adequate food for his family, resorting to collecting flour mixed with dust from the ground. He reported that there is no flour, bread, or money available, and his family has not had bread for a month. His father is ill, and Mohammad's efforts to secure food for his younger siblings have largely been unsuccessful. Another incident highlights the plight of a severely injured Palestinian youth who, despite his condition, asked his sister for bread, which she could not provide due to the blockade and scarcity. Additionally, children and families in Gaza are forced to sell sweets or rely on minimal charity food aid, which is insufficient to meet their needs. These accounts underscore the ongoing famine and humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the Israeli blockade and military actions.
