Journalists Are Starving in Gaza

Columbia Journalism Review · Meghnad Bose · last updated

Around half past six in the evening on Tuesday, after she’d been out reporting, Shrouq Aila, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza, headed home. “I’m super exhausted because I haven’t had a meal,” she said. She had last eaten the day before—only once, and it was just rice. She was fortunate to get hold of a few dates, she told me, but she left them for her two-year-old daughter, Dania. Aila said that Dania is growing up on paltry food, much of it without nutritional value, “because she has spent more than half of her age in such dire circumstances.”
