Food distribution here has stopped, says displaced Gaza City family

way2barak, May 20 :We’ve been catching up with the family of six-year-old Ismail Abu Odeh, who cried last week when he dropped a meal he had collected at a food distribution point and again the next day when no water or food arrived at the camp.

His father said that the food kitchen was no longer coming to their displacement camp in Gaza City.

“Many of the kitchens in the area stopped working,” he said.

But he added that the family had managed to source some lentils which they had cooked today.

As we have been reporting, Israel has said it will allow “basic food aid” into Gaza following an 11-week blockade. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has said it is “abominable” that fewer than 10 aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday.
