Bread of Desperation

 

In the north of the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians have been hit hardest by hunger, residents face acute shortages of vegetables, fruit, and meat. Their desperate survival hinges on bread alone. Food available in the market is sold at exorbitant prices: a kilo of green peppers, which once cost about a dollar, now fetches nearly $90. Traders demand $70 for just a kilo of onions. Families like Um Mohammed’s, who have endured more than eight months of Israeli bombardments, subsist solely on flour and bread. Despite the recent lifting of a ban on fresh food sales from Israel and the West Bank, unscrupulous merchants exploit the crisis, selling goods at astronomical mark-ups. The flow of U.N. aid into this devastated territory remains severely restricted, and mounting global pressure calls for urgent action to prevent famine. In Gaza, where children suffer from acute malnutrition, the bread of desperation is their only sustenance.
