A day in the life, in photos, of one family's search for food in Gaza

  • Abeer and Fadi Sobh, along with their six children, live in a coastal refugee camp near Gaza City, where they face daily challenges securing enough food amid a conflict that has lasted nearly two years.
  • Starting in March, Israel imposed a total restriction on the entry of food and other essential goods for approximately two and a half months, aiming to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages taken during its October 7, 2023 attack.
  • Aid flow resumed in May but remains far below needs, while lawlessness and risks from nearby Israeli fire make safe food delivery nearly impossible, forcing many to rely on weekly charity kitchens that often lack enough food.
  • Abeer said, "I am no longer able" and feels weak and dizzy when searching for food or water, sometimes returning empty-handed while her sick husband and six children go hungry, warning the worst-case famine scenario is unfolding.
  • This prolonged scarcity has increased hunger and despair throughout Gaza, with individuals like Abeer considering taking their lives if the war and blockade continue without relief or sufficient aid.
