Aid worker reports ‘actual starvation’ in Gaza refugee camp

Jabalia is the biggest of the eight refugee camps in Gaza. Around 116,000 individuals reside in an area of 1. 4 square kilometers (about 0. 5 square miles), as reported by the UN.

Khalid helps people in Jabalia. He says to the BBC’s World Service radio that almost everything has been used up and all basic needs are almost fulfilled.

“There is indeed serious hunger,” he explains, as bakery shops are now running out of flour.

Lately, a few vehicles with aid were permitted to enter Gaza to bring necessary supplies, but aid agencies believe it is not nearly sufficient.

Khalid says the amount of stock sent to Jabalia is only enough for one shelter.
