'All the people are hungry': Voices from Gaza on desperate lack of food
Published: 7/25/2025

Despite the blame game between Israel and Hamas, international aid organizations point to Israel as the occupying power having a legal responsibility to prevent starvation in Gaza. The BBC relies on freelancers to report from Gaza, but the lack of food is making it increasingly difficult for them to feed themselves and their families.
