Storyline: Days after Israel lifted the blockade, many displaced Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip still have not received any aid supplies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday a decision to lift over two months of blockade on Gaza to allow the entry of limited aid. However, three days after the temporary lifting, Abdul Karim Saad El-Din, a displaced Palestinian in western Gaza, was still getting food for his family from a community kitchen, rather than an aid distribution site. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said on Thursday that about 90 trucks of aid supplies have entered Gaza, and the distribution of some truckloads has begun. But as of Friday, they have not reached Abdul's hands. In the past few days, 29 children and elderly people died of starvation or related complications in Gaza, Palestinian Health Minister Majed Abu Ramadan said on Thursday, adding many thousands more were at risk.

Earlier, we could go to the market to buy some vegetables and other things. But now, there's nothing in the market. Even if there is, the price would be ridiculous." 5.

We young people often reminisce about the past, when we had stable lives and sufficient food. But the reality is there is no food now. 'No food' sums up everything. We have nothing to feed our children and nothing to feed our families. If things go on like this, we may not die of war, but die of starvation." 8. Various refugee camp, flag of Palestine 9.
