Amidst intense food shortages caused by Israeli bombing and the obstruction of aid into Gaza, Palestinians have been forced to resort to desperate measures, including mixing animal fodder and bird feed into their bread, according to Middle East Eye, a UK-based online news platform.
Abu Alaa, a resident of Gaza, and the owner of a mill in central Gaza, said that the food available to people is not edible.
“Something should be done about this urgently,” he told Middle East Eye.
“People are mixing bird feed and animal food into their food. This is not right, it’s not healthy. People are grinding this and mixing it into their bread,” he added.
He explained that this is happening due to a lack of aid deliveries as well as the sharp skyrocketing prices of goods that are available.
Abu Alaa said that he has been forced to reduce the price of wheat due to the dire circumstances, despite rising costs hitting everyone.
