Gaza Father's Desperate Plea Amidst Food Crisis

Gaza's Food Crisis: A Father's Struggle Jabalia, Gaza – May 19, 2025. Mahmoud al-Haw, a Palestinian father of six, describes a desperate struggle for survival in the face of limited humanitarian aid reaching Gaza. He spent hours waiting in line to receive a small portion of food from a soup kitchen. "I'm 39 years old, I can't provide for my family," he said, his voice heavy with despair. "I have a sick daughter, and there is nothing. We've been here since eight in the morning, just to get one plate of food for six people, and it's not even enough for one person." The video shows the meager amount of food – a thin broth – distributed to families. Children are seen eagerly receiving their small portions. Al-Haw's daughter, who suffers from heart disease, bronchial asthma, and epilepsy, weighs only 11 kilograms at the age of seven. The family's plight highlights the ongoing crisis in Gaza, where restricted access to aid leaves many families facing severe food shortages. Their story serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for greater humanitarian assistance to reach those in need.
