Kids in Rafah ‘looking for scraps of food’ as aid remains blocked

There is no aid being delivered and prices of basic necessities have tripled. People do not have cash and cannot afford to buy anything. The vast majority of working people are private sector employees and have not had their paycheques since the beginning of the war.

At times, the food aid that gets in has been stuck at the border crossing with Egypt for so long that it’s gone bad and is inedible. People are living on one meal a day and can go for entire days without eating proper food.

We’re seeing children roaming around in Rafah looking for scraps of food. Newborn babies are dying of malnutrition and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding do not have the necessary nutrients to continue feeding their children or bring to term their gestation period.
