Hamza Al-Kahlot, 13, lives with his family in his grandfather’s house in the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip. Israel obstructs the arrival of aid to the residents of northern Gaza and imposes stifling isolation on them.
Local and international organizations accuse Israel of using hunger as a weapon against hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who are still in Gaza City and towns in the northern Gaza Strip, and leaving them to starve to death. Hamza says that the price of a small bag of flour (weighing 25 kilograms) reached 2,600 shekels.
