Although GHF said it distributed 8,000 food boxes on Tuesday, totaling 462,000 meals, Al Jazeera correspondent Hind-al-Khourdary said the rations would not be a long-term maintenance of the family.

Khoudary describes a typical box with 4kg (8.8 pounds) of flour, several bags of pasta, two cans of powdered beans, a pack of tea bags and some cookies. Other food packaging contains small amounts of lentils and soup.

"We've been dying of hunger. We have to feed children who want to eat. What else can we do? I can do anything to feed them." "We see people running and we follow them, even if it means adventure, it's scary. But fear is no worse than hunger."

Despite her best efforts, it was too late by the time her three-year-old mother Abu Sa'da arrived in Rafah.

Abu Sa'da deeply humiliated the experience. She was full of shame and inferiority.

She added: "I kept covering my face with a scarf. I didn't want anyone to recognize that I was going to get a food package."

Still, Abu Sa'da said she would do it again if needed.

Limited water and electricity

There is little water and almost non-existent electricity in Gaza, which makes it almost impossible to use the limited supply that people manage to obtain.

Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum reported from Deir El-Balah on the spot that it was "it was impossible to cook any dry food in Gaza (including lentils, rice and even pasta) without drinking water".

"If there is water, you also need a source of electricity or fuel, both of which are completely cut off by Gaza," he said.

What is GHF?

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a newly established, U.S. and Israel-approved organization, is distributing food to Palestinians in Gaza. The group has been damaged by delays and difficulties, with the United Nations saying it is incapable of responding to the horrific humanitarian situation in Gaza after Israel blocked three months of supplies to the surrounded zone.

Under increasing pressure to lift the Gaza lockdown and allow basic supply, Israel is trying to propose solutions by allocating aid through the US-backed GHF. But Jake Wood, a U.S. veteran who runs the organization, has resigned, saying it will not be able to fulfill the principles of "humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence."

UN Humanitarian Director Tom Fletcher said at the Security Council last week that the GHF "limits aid to only part of Gaza and leaves other horrible needs". "This makes aid conditional on political and military goals. It makes hunger a bargaining chip. It's a cynical debris. Intentionally distracting. A fig leaf for further violence and displacement."

The United Nations and other humanitarian organizations refuse to work with the GHF because it will undermine values ​​and put their teams and those receiving assistance at risk. They said Israel could use GHF to force a substitute for the population, requiring them to move near some distribution centers or face hunger. The United Nations also opposes the use of facial recognition to review those who receive assistance.

How does Israel starve the Gaza people to death?

One in five Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are facing hunger as Israel's nearly three-month zone is blocked. The chaos at the distribution point highlights the amazing level of hunger.

According to the latest Integrated Food Security Stage Classification (IPC) report, 1.95 million people (93% of the enclave population) are facing acute food shortages.

Some governors are experiencing more severe levels of hunger, i.e. in Northern Gaza.

The IPC said Israel’s ongoing lockdown “could lead to further large-scale displacement within the rulers and within states” as projects that are crucial to people’s survival will be exhausted.
