In a battered house, patched together after being damaged by Israeli bombing during the last war on Gaza, Tasneem stood by candlelight, cooking beans for her children's Ramadan dinner.

Like most Gazans, Tasneem receives food and financial aid from non-profit organisations, including various staples such as beans, lentils, flour, and other essential items.

"One food box is enough for me for almost a month," she told Middle East Eye as she broke her fast with her husband and three children.

"It's our main source of food. My husband lost his job because of the war."

Poverty in Gaza has reached 81.5 percent after Israel's genocidal war devastated infrastructure, farmland and factories, leaving the strip in unlivable conditions.
