STORYLINE:
Around 200 displaced Palestinians in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis waited in a queue at a charitable kitchen to secure a meal for the day on Friday, but only a few were able to leave with food.
Associated Press footage showed large crowds of people, including crying and screaming children, carried their pots and squeezing their way to the front of the charitable kitchen in a desperate attempt to get any amount of rice—the only food being served.
One displaced woman said she waited to receive her share of food but left with nothing because the charitable kitchen wasn’t able to serve all those who showed up.
"My family is suffering a lot. There is no food at all, and there is no flour. We came to the charity here and did not get anything, the food ran out, said Adel Mohammad, a man displaced in Khan Younis.
At the charitable kitchen, children used their hands to scoop whatever bits of rice is left in the large empty cooking pots left on the side to feed themselves.
The World Food Programme warned on Friday that the humanitarian response in Gaza is “nearing collapse as famine looms.”
The UN agency said that Israeli restrictions on aid entry and law breakdown in the territory made it hard for aid convoys to reach displaced Palestinians.
"We do not want to eat. We only want to feed the children. If the children eat, that is enough," said Samah Saqr, who left with an empty pot.
