Millions of Palestinians face the threat of famine as food supplies reach new lows.
Faced with major food shortages after nearly 14 months of war, Palestinians describe long days hunting for flour or bread in the conflict-ravaged Gaza Strip.
Every morning, crowds form outside the few bakeries open in the Palestinian territory, as people desperately hope to secure a little food.
“I walked about eight kilometres (five miles) to get bread,” said Hatem Kullab, a displaced Palestinian living in a neighbourhood of makeshift tents.
Since the outbreak of Israel’s war on Gaza last year, charities and international aid organisations have repeatedly warned of crisis levels of hunger for the enclave’s two million or so people.
A United Nations-backed assessment last month warned of famine looming in northern Gaza as an Israeli offensive all but halted the arrival of food aid to the area. Water and medicines are also scarce.
