Gaza child expresses joy after obtaining piece of bread

A Palestinian boy from Gaza expresses joy after obtaining a piece of bread amid a dire shortage in food in the besieged strip.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society has warned that hunger in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, saying the situation is now “even more dire than in the past 19 months”.

In its latest update, the humanitarian group said famine looms once more as over a million displaced people struggle to meet basic nutritional needs.

The Red Crescent says its remaining food stocks are “completely depleted”, with only small amounts of legumes left, which are being sent to community kitchens in a last-ditch effort to feed people.
