‘Better than starving…’
“A can of beans has gone from one shekel ($0.28) to six shekels,” Nazi said. Before the war people were poor, even those who worked rarely had enough to feed their children. There was money. How are they coping with this now? One can imagine the situation. I am afraid that people will starve to death…”
In the morning, 36-year-old Salam Haider was standing in a queue outside a food centre. “They told me it’s too early, but I want to make sure I get something,” said the mother of three young children. My son cries when he sees another child holding a piece of bread. He tried to steal sweets from a kid, I had to tell him that was too bad.”
Noor Barbach, five months pregnant and displaced from Khan Younis, also waited hours for the center to open in Rafah. “Sometimes I send my 12-year-old eldest son, but he gets beaten up. He comes back crying and empty-handed,” Barbach said. If it wasn’t for this center, we wouldn’t have anything,” she said, holding three tomatoes and two shekels in her hand. “I haven’t got any bread.” “My children have lost a lot of weight, hunger wakes them up at night,” she said. She said, adding that even though it is the center of fighting between Israel and Hamas, she is considering returning to her home in Khan Yunis. “Home is better than starving,” she said. “But dying as a martyr.”
