Videos Challenge Claims of Starvation in Gaza
(Ynet News) Lior Ben Ari - Though some markets in Gaza have been photographed empty, residents have also shared images and videos showing bustling food stalls, especially in Gaza City's Al-Zawiya market. Despite war-related shortages and disruptions, food remains available in many areas. "Even during the worst times in northern Gaza, people could still buy things - it was just expensive," said Jackie Peleg, director of Imshin, a project documenting life in Gaza. "There are gaps. Some people can pay, some can't. The poor go to soup kitchens, and many of those are privately run." Peleg added that the narrative of starvation in Gaza long predates the war. "Even when the crossings were open and supplies came in, people still claimed they were being starved."
