BBC returns to Gaza Baby that remains hungry Israeli blockade

There is no excitement as the camera passes. Children barely look. What can surprise a child who lives among the dead, dying, waiting to die? Hunger wore them.

They are waiting in queues for miserable rations or at all. They grew up to my colleague and his cameras, removing the BBC. It testifies to their hunger, dying and to the soft wrapping of their body – or fragments of their bodies – in white cloaks, on which their names are written when known.

In the 19 months of the war, and now under the new Israeli offensive, this local operator – whom I do not call, for his safety – listened to the vague screams of those who survived in the hospital yards.

His physical distance is respected, but they are in his head, day and night. He is one of them, trapped in the same claustrophobic hell.

This morning he strives to find the gray ashura, a five -month -old girl whose Lifted shot and exhausted cry in a Nasser hospital Khan Yunis influenced him so strongly when he was shot there at the beginning of this month that he wrote to tell me that he had something to break.

She weighed just over 2 kg (4 pounds 6 oz). The girl in five months should be about 6 kg and above.

Since then, Sivar has been discharged and now at home, my colleague heard. This is what leads him to the street with crushed houses and improvised shelters and corrugated iron.

He searches in difficult circumstances. A few days ago I reported to ask how in his business. “I’m not fine,” he replied. “For a short time the Israeli army has announced the evacuation of most areas of Khan Unis … We don’t know what to do – there is no safe place.

“Al-Mavasi is extremely crowded with displaced people. We are lost and the concept is not what the right decision is at this moment.”

It finds a one -bedroom shack, an entrance that is formed from the flower pattern, gray and black curtain. Inside there are three mattresses, a part of the dresser and a mirror that reflects the sunlight on the floor in front of the gray -haired, her mother most and her grandmother Rem.

Sivar is quiet, in the security of two women. The baby cannot absorb the usual milk formula from a serious allergic reaction. In the conditions of war and Israeli blockade upon arrival to helpThere is a serious deficiency of the formula she needs.

The 23 -year -old Najva explains that her condition stabilized when she was in the hospital, so the doctors threw it out with a tin with a baby formula a few days ago.

Now at home, she says the baby’s weight began to slide again. “Doctors told me that Sivar had improved and better than before, but I think she was still thin and did not improve.

Flies to dance in the face of the gray. “The situation is very scary,” says Najwa, “the insects come to it, I have to cover it with a scarf, so nothing touches her.”

Sivar has lived with the sound of the war since November when she was born. Artillery, rockets, bombing are far away. Edema, blades of Israeli drones that rotate over their heads. Naezwa explains: “She understands these things. The sound of tanks, planes and rockets is so loud, and they are close to us. When Siviva hears these sounds, it becomes surprised and cries. When she sleeps, she wakes up and crying.”

Doctors in gas say that many young mothers report that they cannot breastfeed their children from a lack of nutrition. The problem of pressing is food and clean water.

When Sivar was born, it was most importantly. She and her Rem mother are still difficult to get something to eat. This is the struggle every hour of wakefulness. “In our case, we cannot provide milk or diapers from the prices and closure of the border.”

On May 22, the Kogat Israeli Military Corps stated that Gaza had no food shortages. It states that “in recent days,” a considerable amount of baby food and flour was brought in the enclave.

The agency has repeatedly insisted that Hamas steals assistance, while the Israeli government says the war will continue until Hamas is destroyed, and Israeli hostages held in Gaza will be released. According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on October 20, 2023, he was confiscated by Hamas, and up to 30 people were killed.

The United Nations assistance agencies, and many foreign governments, including Britain, reject a comment to the Kogat that there is no lack of food. US President Donald Trump also spoke about “starving” in Gaza.

UN Secretary -General Antonio Gutteres described the amount of assistance that Israel allowed a teaspoon in gas. He said that the Palestinians “tolerate what could be the least phase of this cruel conflict” with limited fuel, shelter, gas gas and water purification.

According to the UN, 80% of Gaza, either now intended as an Israeli militarization zone, or a place where people were ordered to leave.

The refusal, expressions that are concerned, condemnation and moments that seemed to come and left during this war. The only constant is the suffering of 2.1 million gases such as Najwa and her daughter Sivar.

“Doesn’t think about the future or the past,” says Nadzhwa.

There is only a real moment and how to survive it.
