Between the rubble of homes and the scarcity of aid in the northern Gaza Strip, the tragedy is exacerbated in the city of Beit Hanoun, where thousands of families live under hunger, and children specifically face the danger of slow death in the absence of food, medicine and basic means of life.
Maher Naseem, one of the displaced from Beit Hanoun, to Al -Jazeera Net, confirms that the suffering of the children has reached an unbearable limit, in light of the inability of families to provide food or water.
It indicates that adults often have to be satisfied with water to relieve hunger pain, in a desperate attempt to withstand, while they are unable to explain what is happening to their children who do not find what clogs their breath.
Naseem adds that the psychological state of his children began to deteriorate, as they are asking painful questions that reflect their despair from life, in light of the reality of deprivation that no longer differentiate between small and large.
As for Hassan Abu Shaghiba, who is the head of a family, he was the source of his income, and he confirms that his family was forced to eat what is not eaten in natural conditions.
It indicates that they consumed horse meat in the absence of alternatives, and they were satisfied with salt in some days, amid his inability to secure food for his child with great disability.
Abu Shaghiba describes, to Al -Jazeera Net, the situation as “catastrophic by all standards”, and the Israeli occupation is responsible for delivering the people to this stage of starvation and deprivation, as a result of the continuous blockade and military attacks that struck the infrastructure and humanitarian centers.
For his part, Abu Ezz Zuidi narrates how hunger changed the features of people, until it became difficult to identify faces, including the closest relatives.
He says that the severity of suffering left its psychological and physical effects on everyone, and that many lost the ability to distinguish between night and day amid the scene of displacement and continuous hunger.
Despite all this, Zuidi confirms that the people are still sticking to steadfastness and steadfastness, and they see that they remain in Gaza as a position on the resistance, even if this cost them to confront hunger, disease and death.
These certificates come at a time when international reports are reported that more than half of the population of the Gaza Strip suffers from food insecurity, while the Ministry of Health in Gaza indicates a registration of deaths between children due to hunger and malnutrition, amid warnings of an imminent collapse of the humanitarian system in the northern Gaza Strip.
