Palestinians continue struggling to find their basic needs to live, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Deir El-Balah, central Gaza.

“They are telling us that the situation is disastrous. Every single morning, they strive to find water and food for their children and the aid that comes in Gaza is not enough for the whole enclave.

“Another thing that Palestinians say is that it is very hard for them to find medicine. Painkillers and influenza medicines along with insulin and diabetes medication, among many others, are not available in pharmacies,” she says.

“People are telling us that their biggest fear is rain because there has been a lot of leakage. Their tents are very fragile, not strong enough to protect them from the rain.

“They want the situation to end as soon as possible. They are calling for a ceasefire,” Khoudary adds.
