00:00Six weeks since Israel completely cut off all supplies to the 2.3 million residents
00:07of the Gaza Strip, food stockpiled during a ceasefire at the start of the year has all
00:14but run out.
00:15Emergency meal distributions are ending, bakeries are closed, markets are empty.
00:21On a spot of packed ground in a camp of plastic sheets where she lives with her displaced
00:26family in Khan Yunus, 64 year old rehab, used cardboard to light a fire and boil a can
00:34of beans.
00:36It is all they have left.
00:37We are 13 people, why don't we do this?
00:40We have to eat, we have to eat, we have to eat, we have to eat, we have to eat, we have
00:44to eat, we have to eat, we have to eat, we have to eat, we have to eat, we have to eat,
00:51we have to eat.
00:53To the north in Nusirat, hundreds of Palestinians queued up for hot cooked rice at an outdoor
00:59emergency kitchen.
01:01Small children jammed the front of the queue, waving buckets to bring something home for
01:06their families.
01:08Aid agencies that have been supplying those emergency meals say they will have to stop
01:13within days unless they can bring in more food.
01:17The World Food Programme used to provide bread at 25 bakeries across the Gaza Strip.
01:24All of those bakeries are now shut.
01:26It will soon have to halt distribution of food parcels at reduced rations.
01:31All basic supplies are running out.
01:36The markets are also running out of basics.
01:40There was a black market in Gaza.
01:43Now it's a very, very black market.
01:45And what I mean by that is that the prices of commodities have exponentially increased over
01:53the past one month plus since the Israeli authorities put the siege on the Gaza Strip.
02:01Every day that Gaza goes without basic supplies, including food, it means babies, children are
02:09going to bed hungry every day without these basic supplies.
02:15Gaza inches closer towards very, very deep hunger.
02:22Israel denies that Gaza is facing a hunger crisis.
02:26The military accuses Hamas of exploiting aid and says it must keep all supplies out to prevent
02:32the fighters from getting it.
02:35Gaza denies exploiting aid and accuses Israel of using starvation as a military tactic.
