The article recounts the harrowing experiences of living in Gaza amid ongoing conflict and food scarcity. It illustrates the struggle of going days without food, as a blockade prevents basic necessities from entering the region. The author reflects on a time when food was plentiful and life was normal, contrasting it sharply with the current reality of hunger and deprivation. She expresses hope during ceasefires, only to face renewed hardships. The emotional toll of starvation highlights the plight of innocents caught in geopolitical turmoil and bears witness to the collective punishment endured by the people of Gaza.
It has been more than 30 hours since I last ate. At times, I go as long as two days without food. For most people, hunger is easily fixed.
When a ceasefire was agreed, I hoped that everything I had endured was behind me. But just as I began to regain my health, the bombing returned.
Each morning, I wake up hoping to find breakfast, only to discover nothing. Vegetables have nearly vanished from the markets, and even bread is scarce.
We remember those days not just as part of the past but like they belonged to another world entirely - a world that was safer, kinder, and so much more beautiful.
