Al Jazeera‘s Hind Khoudary says that the parcels she’s seen distributed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation contain “only a meagre amount of food that will not feed a family for long and is not nutritious enough”.

She said she had seen a food box that contained 4kg of flour, a couple of bags of pasta, two cans of fava beans, a pack of tea bags and some biscuits, while other food parcels contained lentils and soup in very small quantities.

“This is definitely not enough, and it is not enough for all the humiliation that Palestinians are going through to receive these food parcels,” she said, reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.

“We’re talking about nearly three months without chicken, without meat, without nutritious food, and that’s why most people coming to the hospital now are malnourished Palestinian children.”
