Desperate parents in Gaza struggle to feed their children as famine unfolds due to an Israeli blockade.
Gaza City, Gaza Strip – Hani Abu Rizq walks through Gaza City’s wrecked streets with two bricks tied against his stomach as the rope cuts into his clothes, which hang loose from the weight he has lost.
The 31-year-old searches desperately for food to feed his mother and seven siblings with the bricks pressed against his belly – an ancient technique he never imagined he would need.
“We’re starved,” he says, his voice hollow with exhaustion.
“Even starvation as a word falls short of what we’re all feeling,” he adds, his eyes following people walking past.
