STORYLINE:
War-weary Palestinains - mostly women and children - gathered Friday outside a charity kitchen that distributes hot meals to displaced families in Gaza City.
Carrying empty pots and plastic containers, they crowded around charity workers in the hopes of receiving a share of hot food.
“We don’t have any other option," said Um Imad Afifi, who was displaced from the northern town of Beit Hanoun.
She said that many people didn’t receive meals because food at the kitchen, known as Tekiya, was not sufficient for the number of people in need.
"There is nothing to eat, there is no food, there is no flour, no food, no rice, and there are none of the necessities of life. What is this life?", she said as she waited by the kitchen.
Even the United States, a staunch ally, has voiced concerns over the hunger crisis.
