Various of people receiving food STORYLINE: Dozens of desperate, displaced Palestinians gathered Tuesday in Gaza City to receive pre-cooked lentil soup meals distributed by a charity kitchen. Charity kitchens have been trying to meet people’s needs amid harrowing conditions, but there isn’t enough food to fill the pots and pans of thousands of hungry people. "Everyone charges (toward the distribution point). Some people manage to get food, but others don't," said Eitaf Hamouda, speaking to the Associated Press after receiving a pot of lentil soup. "Until now, the children haven't had breakfast," she added. Malnutrition rates among children in the Gaza Strip have doubled since Israel sharply restricted the entry of food in March, the U.N. said Tuesday. Hunger has been rising among Gaza’s more than 2 million Palestinians since Israel broke a ceasefire in March to resume the war and banned all food and other supplies from entering Gaza, saying it aimed to pressure Hamas to release hostages. It slightly eased the blockade in late May, allowing in a trickle of aid. UNRWA, the main U.N. agency caring for Palestinians in Gaza, said it had screened nearly 16,000 children under age 5 at its clinics in June and found 10.2% of them were acutely malnourished. By comparison, in March, 5.5% of the nearly 15,000 children it screened were malnourished. Gaza’s more than 2 million Palestinians are living through a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, setting off the 21-month war, Israel has bombarded and laid siege to the strip, leaving many teetering on the edge of famine, according to food security experts. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
