11. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Nada Mdoukh, displaced woman:
"When food and drinks were available before at cheap prices, only 20 to 30 people used to come to the charity kitchen. Now, more than 300 people gather there. When I stand at the charity kitchen, there’s a lot of pushing and hitting — I'm exposed to danger at any moment, especially since I'm pregnant, and there's also the risk of sunstroke.

"We rely on this meal until another charity kitchen distributes food," Mdoukh added.
Twenty-eight countries including Britain, Japan and a host of European nations issued a joint statement Monday saying the war in Gaza “must end now” — the latest sign of allies’ sharpening language as Israel’s isolation deepens.
Gaza’s population of more than 2 million Palestinians is in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, now relying largely on the limited ai... [truncated]
