A Christian Aid consultant, whose family of 15 are trapped in the Strip, including four children aged between two and seven, warns:
“The vast majority, if not all families, in Gaza are experiencing a critical situation.
“Even families who have money cannot buy food. All the local traders now prefer to receive cash if you want to buy something. They don't accept online payment. The only way to buy is if you have cash in your hands.
“The main source of food is what is being provided through humanitarian channels which is very dangerous to try and access.
“People are living in fear.
"There are hardly any local markets anymore.
“It is time for food to be used as a tool to save people's lives and bring a just peace rather than being used as a weapon.
“Hopefully the ceasefire will come soon so that there will be more opportunity for food to get in the Strip and reach the hungry people and this mad war will end.”
