Widespread hunger remains persistent in the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel a year ago that was supposed to allow more food into the Palestinian territory. A new study published on Thursday by Médecins du Monde reported that 93 percent of pregnant or breastfeeding women had symptoms of anaemia, which is closely linked to malnutrition.
Every day, Gazan mother Niyaha al-Masri spends six exhausting hours or more queueing at a community kitchen in the hope of getting some food for her family.
