Watan-The video from Gaza illustrates the tragic conditions faced by residents due to the Israeli offensive war, which includes a devastating blockade leading to a desperate and horrifying famine. The footage shows children searching through garbage piles for papers and cardboard.
When questioned about their actions, the children explain that they are collecting these materials to use in baking bread and cooking food, as Israel has prohibited the entry of cooking gas into Gaza.
The situation highlights the impact of the blockade on basic necessities, forcing children to scavenge for essential items amid a dire humanitarian crisis.

The situation in the Gaza Strip is dire and tragic
The Gaza Strip is currently experiencing a tragic situation in terms of living conditions and humanitarian challenges due to the brutal war launched by the Israeli army since October 7th of last year. The dire war, characterized by a wide-ranging siege, has besieged the citizens, subjecting them to unprecedented suffering.
In documenting this tragic situation, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has stated that Gaza is facing a “catastrophic hunger,” with 40% of the population at risk of famine.
Thomas White, the director of UNRWA, emphasized that every day in Gaza is a struggle for survival, with people desperately searching for food and water. He highlighted the urgent need for more regular supplies, requiring safe and sustainable access to humanitarian aid everywhere, including in northern Gaza. The statement underscores the pervasive hunger and desperation among the population in Gaza.
