(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ANADOLU’S FREELANCE CAMERAMAN ANAS ZEYAD FTEHA SAYING: "We've endured so much together - no water, no electricity, sleepless nights, separation from family, and hunger we never imagined could get worse... until it did. When the Gaza truce came, we thought relief was coming, but it didn't last. They closed the crossings again, and suddenly the markets emptied - no food, no milk, nothing left on the shelves. All because of this siege, this blockade on aid.” 9. WHITE FLASH 10. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ANADOLU’S FREELANCE CAMERAMAN ANAS ZEYAD FTEHA SAYING: “I don't know how we survived this entire period. We were struggling, yet somehow still better off than others. I never dreamed that while documenting people's suffering through my camera, I'd be living that same suffering myself. My family suffers. My friends suffer. My fellow journalists suffer. Those with newborn babies suffer. Those with elderly mothers suffer. We've lost so many colleagues... but nothing prepared us for this deepest pain of all: hunger. When you see a child begging for bread right before your eyes, and you can't help because you're begging for the same bread... When entire families starve... So many children have died from hunger. So many more from bombings. And still more waste away now, sick from malnutrition. I don't know how this ends, but I know the ending won't bring joy - only more grief. So many have already lost everyone they loved." 11. WHITE FLASH 12. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ANADOLU’S FREELANCE CAMERAMAN ANAS ZEYAD FTEHA SAYING: "The screams never fade—for two years now: airstrikes, starvation, deprivation. No aid, and when it does come, it's delivered in the most inhumane ways. So many are dying because of this. We’ve been covering nearly everything—from the tents to the makeshift shelters, to the rubble, to countless other places. What we witness is pure suffering: the gaunt faces of children, covered in rashes and sickness, with no water to wash, no food to eat, no milk, no infant formula. Premature babies, their cries so weak… these were children just at the dawn of life. But today, so many of them are gone." 13. WHITE FLASH 14. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ANADOLU’S FREELANCE CAMERAMAN ANAS ZEYAD FTEHA SAYING: "I start my day like any other day in Gaza, living through this war. One brother fetches water, another stands in line for flour—sometimes for hours. My family is small, thank Allah. I haven’t lost anyone, but the greatest thanks is simply still having family, even if it’s just one person left." 15. WHITE FLASH 16. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ANADOLU’S FREELANCE CAMERAMAN ANAS ZEYAD FTEHA SAYING: “Honestly, for the past month—or let’s say the last ten days—there’s been no food. Like everyone else, we’ve been reduced to skeletons from starvation. We eat what we can: maybe a loaf of bread, whatever scraps of vegetables are available in the market—things we fight over just to get.I head to work, though half the journey is on foot, and the other half—if we’re lucky—is crammed into a car. The transportation crisis is unbearable. You’re terrified of being targeted, especially in areas like the port or near military zones. You walk endless distances just to reach safety, only to often arrive and find nothing left. Everything’s gone." 17. WHITE FLASH 18. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ANADOLU’S FREELANCE CAMERAMAN ANAS ZEYAD FTEHA SAYING: "Right now, there's no real food - just some thin soups, maybe lentils or bulgur if we're lucky. A piece of bread if we find it. Potatoes when available - anything to fill our stomachs. Nothing nutritious remains: no vitamins, no carbohydrates, nothing to sustain human life. And it's not just me - everyone struggling to work does so without proper nourishment. People force themselves to gather firewood, collect plastic bags or pipes just to burn for warmth or sell to feed their families.” 19. WHITE FLASH 20. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ANADOLU’S FREELANCE CAMERAMAN ANAS ZEYAD FTEHA SAYING: “I never imagined I would live through such famine, like the rest of my people. Not that I'm separate from my people - on the contrary. I just never thought we'd reach this point. One year, two years... now we're entering the second year, and Allah knows, it might stretch to three.” 21. WHITE FLASH 22. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ANADOLU’S FREELANCE CAMERAMAN ANAS ZEYAD FTEHA SAYING: “What message can I possibly send to the world? So many messages have already reached them - through our camera lenses, our phones, our written reports. The world has seen everything. But it seems stones might hear, yet the world remains deaf. I only hope this war ends peacefully. I don't ask for much - just that when it does end, the crossings reopen to let in food, clothing, milk, medicine. So many elderly, so many sick people - liver patients, chronically ill - have been abandoned, left with nothing but Allah and the medicines you've cut off from them." 23. FTEAHA FILMING DESTROYED AREA AS VEHICLE PASSES 24. FTEHA FILMING PEOPLE WAITING FOR FOOD GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE - JULY 24: Palestinian journalists continue to report from Gaza under extreme conditions, exposing the humanitarian catastrophe caused by Israel’s blockade and use of starvation as a weapon. Among them is Anadolu freelance cameraman Anas Zeyad Fteha, who has documented the dire situation firsthand. Fteha and his family were forced to flee northern Gaza, moving through multiple displacement camps before settling temporarily in Khan Younis, where he worked at Nasser Hospital. Later, they were displaced again to Rafah, staying in a tent near Kuwait Hospital, before finally relocating to Deir al-Balah, where they now reside near Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Fteha described the unbearable conditions: "We've endured so much together - no water, no electricity, sleepless nights, separation from family, and hunger we never imagined could get worse... until it did” He recounted the desperation of families, including his own, surviving on scraps: “Honestly, for the past month—or let’s say the last ten days—there’s been no food. Like everyone else, we’ve been reduced to skeletons from starvation. We eat what we can: maybe a loaf of bread, whatever scraps of vegetables are available in the market—things we fight over just to get… When you see a child begging for bread right before your eyes, and you can't help because you're begging for the same bread.” Gaza’s Health Ministry previously reported one or two daily deaths from malnutrition, but the number has surged to at least 10 fatalities per day. Premature babies, the elderly, and chronically ill patients are among the most vulnerable, with medical supplies and food blocked by the siege. "I never imagined I would live through such famine, like the rest of my people. Not that I'm separate from my people - on the contrary," Fteha said. "So many children have died from hunger. So many more from bombings. And still more waste away now, sick from malnutrition...”, he said, adding that “The world has seen everything. But it seems stones might hear, yet the world remains deaf. I only hope this war ends peacefully.” Fteha’s only hope is for the war to end and crossings to reopen: " I don't ask for much - just that when it does end, the crossings reopen to let in food, clothing, milk, medicine… . I don't know how this ends, but I know the ending won't bring joy - only more grief. So many have already lost everyone they loved." As Israel’s blockade tightens, humanitarian agencies warn of an accelerating famine, with journalists like Fteha continuing to document the crisis despite the immense personal toll. At least 113 Palestinians have died of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza since October 2023, according to the Palestine Health Ministry. Since March 2, Israel has stalled on implementing a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal with Hamas and has kept Gaza’s border crossings shut, leaving humanitarian aid trucks stranded along the frontier. Israel has killed more than 59,500 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in the Gaza Strip since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, collapsed the health system, and led to severe food shortages. The UN warned on Thursday that more than 1 million children in the Gaza Strip are "bearing the brunt of deepening starvation and malnutrition" as humanitarian access remains severely restricted by Israel.
