Editor’s note: The following personal account of Yousef al-Ajouri, 40, was told to Palestinian journalist and MEE contributor Ahmed Dremly in Gaza City. It has been edited for brevity and clarity.
My children cry all the time because of how hungry they are. They want bread, rice - anything to eat.
Not long ago, I had stockpiles of flour and other food supplies. It’s all run out.
We now rely on meals distributed by charity kitchens, usually lentils. But it’s not enough to satisfy the hunger of my children.
I live with my wife, seven children, and my mother and father in a tent in al-Saraya, near the middle of Gaza City.
