Gazan citizen Hassan Harzallah revealed the suffering of residents in the besieged Gaza Strip, where they live in dire humanitarian conditions due to the ongoing Israeli blockade for more than four months, which has led to a severe shortage of water and food, resulted in dozens of martyrs, and threatened the lives of thousands of residents.

Harzallah recounted in his testimony that his day began with a request from his father to fill two water bottles from trucks that sometimes pass near the camp, where he found a long line of citizens suffering from thirst, waiting for the arrival of drinking water trucks that come only about every three days. While waiting, he suddenly felt dizzy, having not eaten since the previous night, and a neighbor helped him sit in a corner by the roadside, bringing him the water bottles after the truck passed, but he couldn't inform his parents about what happened for fear of worrying them.

His health condition deteriorated significantly, as he felt severe dizziness, and the weather was very hot, with residents living in tents without shade under the scorching sun. He tried to buy some food from the market, but found it empty, which added to his sadness, as he said: How will I return to my family empty-handed with nothing?

Despite this, he bought less than a kilogram of grapes for more than 30 dollars to feed his family of six, saying: We will share it and endure hunger; maybe we will find something tomorrow. He returned to his tent carrying the grapes, barely able to walk, and the street was devoid of goods, with people around him having exhausted eyes and stumbling steps, searching for anything to feed their children.

In the context of their suffering, Hassan received a message from his friend Mahmoud asking about the amount of salt he puts in a glass of water, emphasizing the miserable condition they live in, as residents are forced to drink salty water so they don't faint and don't lose more weight, fearing dizziness and falling.

Hassan also watched a video of a Gazan woman sitting on the ground in a refugee camp, suffering from hunger and severe exhaustion, having not eaten for five days. He explained that this situation is not individual but represents a symbol of the suffering of the entire community under a suffocating blockade that has lasted for more than four months.

At the end of his testimony, his small orphaned cousin entered and asked a question he didn't know how to answer: Do you have anything to eat?, a question that reflects the depth of the humanitarian crisis faced by residents in Gaza, where many suffer from a severe shortage of food and drinking water.
