Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Deepening Hunger in Gaza as Israel’s Illegal Blockade Stretches Through Sixth Week

HeadlineApr 10, 2025

Nearly 40 days after Israel shattered the ceasefire and reimposed a near-total blockade on aid shipments, prices for food, fuel, medicine and other essential goods are skyrocketing in Gaza. The U.N. says 60,000 children are at risk of malnutrition, with people forced to forage for food as community kitchens run dry.

Neama Farjalla: “I swear to God, if we don’t die from airstrikes, we will die of hunger. We are not safe. The whole world, listen to us, we are really not safe. We move from one soup kitchen to another with danger. I swear to God, they are striking everywhere. If I don’t die in these strikes, I will die of hunger with my children. What shall we do? Where shall we go? Look at us. Find us a solution. We’ve been in this torture for a year and a half. We are tired.”
