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.
