The Daily Hunt for Food in GazaFor two million hungry Gazans, most days bring a difficult search for something to eat.
Amany Mteir, 52, scours the streets north of Gaza City, where people sell or trade what food they have.
The war, including Israel’s bombardment and siege, has choked food imports and destroyed agriculture, and nearly the entire population of Gaza relies on scant humanitarian aid to eat.
Most food shops in northern Gaza are damaged or closed, so vendors set up informal street markets to sell food and other items.
An average of just six commercial trucks carrying food and other supplies have been allowed to enter Gaza each day since early December.
