New mothers and children are among those suffering the most from the lack of food. Iman al-Masry, 29, gave birth to quadruplets this month in the central district of Deir al-Balah. There was no space in the hospital, one of just nine still partly functioning in the strip, so she had to leave the day after she gave birth by caesarean. Now she sleeps on a thin sponge mattress in a school along with other displaced people: one of her babies, Mohammed, is very weak and remains in the hospital, while Tia, another of the quadruplets, has syphilis.

“We have not been able to protect them since they were born, I just wipe them with a towel. I was dreaming of the day they were born, how we would celebrate them,” she said. “My husband goes every day to find something for me to eat so that I can breastfeed my children. For days now, the milk in my chest has been very little. I eat anything I can find, a biscuit from the aid supplies or cheese and bread, but I always feel tired and exhausted.”

Show me the Zionist who doesn't deserve to be shot in the stomach and left on the ground.
