On Wednesday, Israel allowed just 100 trucks carrying humanitarian aid into Gaza — a tiny fraction of the 9,000 trucks that Israel is continuing to hold up at Gaza’s border amid a near-total blockade of food, water and medicine. U.N. officials say that trickle of aid is far short of what’s needed to prevent a famine, and hasn’t even been distributed yet, due to extremely difficult conditions faced by humanitarian workers. Starving children have been lining up for hours at a community kitchen in Gaza City hoping for a meal.

Mais: “I’ve been standing since morning, and everyone is pushing. It’s a huge number of people trying just to get food. Everyone is rushing in. How can I fill my plate? I can’t. Every day is like this. People come from inside and outside the camp for food. I’ve been here since early morning. I tried to rush in and get some food, but I can’t.”
