Part 3/6:
The blockade has transformed day-to-day life into a relentless struggle against hunger. "There’s a siege on all of Gaza's people from all the borders. We are all alike now—the wealthy and the poor," Abu Isam declares, expressing the collective misery that pervades the region.
A Looming Humanitarian Disaster
Tensions escalate as vital supplies dwindle. According to the World Food Program, major stockpiles in Gaza are running low, leading to increasing hunger among the population. The comprehensive nature of the blockade further complicates access to even the basic means of survival. Israel's decision to cut electricity to Gaza has rendered traditional cooking methods nearly impossible, making it even more difficult for families to sustain themselves.
