I've been hungry for 18 days!

The author of the shocking letter I published here yesterday continued his story, explaining the daily suffering he and his wife and children endure. He is unable to provide for himself and his family in a dilapidated tent that neither provides shelter from the cold nor the heat. Meanwhile, the burden of illness, fear, hunger, and extreme thirst afflicts them, in what is the most difficult and dangerous situation for people in the Gaza Strip.
The author of the letter says, “Hunger is spreading like an epidemic in every home, neighborhood, and street. The most painful and grievous is the hunger of infants and young children, who do not understand the severity of the siege, the greed of merchants, and the high prices.
My friend concluded his painful message with the pain of hunger gnawing at his intestines, his wife's, and his children's... "I have been hungry for 18 days... We are in hell, in the deepest pit of the Blazing Fire."
Another story was told by an eyewitness who was forced to stand for hours under the June sun, in lines of terror and humiliation, in front of centers set up like traps for rats. As soon as the hungry approached, they were hunted down by snipers who were full of delicious food.
The witness said that he saw a child no older than ten years old who was overcome by hunger and could no longer bear to wait in the long queue of hungry people. He went to the point where he could get something to satisfy his hunger and calm his nerves, but a sniper suddenly shot him with a bullet that was cheaper than the meal he was trying to get, and killed him... There is no power or strength except with God.
