Quick Summary

Palestinian mother Niyaha al-Masri waits for hours each morning at a community kitchen in Khan Younis, Gaza, to receive food for her family of 10. This situation persists more than a year after a ceasefire was supposed to alleviate the humanitarian crisis. Al-Masri receives four containers of rice and lentils plus some chicken after waiting six hours on one day – this is meant to last as their only meal until the next distribution. The article highlights the ongoing struggle against hunger in Gaza despite international aid efforts.

Story summary

Every morning, Niyaha al-Masri, a Palestinian mother from Khan Younis, joins a long line outside a community kitchen hoping to secure food for her family of 10. Over a year after a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel was meant to ease the blockade on Gaza, many Palestinians still struggle with severe hunger. Al-Masri explains that without assistance from humanitarian groups running these kitchens, her family would have "nothing at all." On one day, she waited for six hours before receiving four containers of rice, lentils, and a small portion of chicken – the only meal they could rely on that day. The ongoing famine fears highlight the continued struggle for basic necessities in Gaza despite supposed improvements in humanitarian access.
