In a small tent in Deir Al-Balah, cental Gaza Strip, displaced mother Itimad Al-Qanou prepares food for her seven children as deepening hunger crisis in Gaza makes residents struggle to provide for their families.
Al-Qanou, who fled her home in the northern town of Jabalia, says that while the north faces constant fear of attacks, her family is battling severe hunger. “We’re in a state worse than famine," she says. Describing her family’s daily survival as a relentless struggle, Al-Qanou adds: “We’re dying slowly.”
