Indicators of famine conditions are starting to be seen again in South Gaza.
The one border crossing used for commercial goods to enter has been closed for the majority of October by the occupation. This means fresh vegetables, eggs, and meat have become nearly impossible to source and only exists in small quantities at high prices.
Most community food kitchens have resorted to providing just rice or lentils and even World Central Kitchen announced a pause in their distributions due to the lack of aid entering.
However, last Friday The Sameer Project was able to provide every family in The Refaat Alareer Camp meals of cooked meat and rice, and today each family got 2 kilos of uncooked meat to prepare to their liking.
Meat, vegetables, and other healthy sustenance has become a luxury. People are rushing distribution points out of desperation for bread to feed their families. But we also realize we have a responsibility to provide care to the families in The Refaat Alareer Camp and due to their serious medical conditions, they need nutrition and protein for survival. Many have chronic ailments, severe injuries, and diseases that make them very sick and weak, and they must build strength simply to recover and live.
More aid must enter Gaza before full famine takes hold, leading to countless preventable deaths. While there are rumors of trucks coming in soon we will in the meantime continue to source what we can to provide for those vulnerable families in our camp.
Please help us do so and learn about our Camp campaign: chuffed.org/project/113327…
