A harrowing week in Gaza

Day One: “At least I’m still breathing. It’s incredibly hot today. The kind of heat that makes your skin heavy and your thoughts slower.

- 

“There's no electricity and no fans, no air conditioner.”

Day Two: “Today we are cooking maqluba (meat, rice, and fried vegetables). We haven't tasted any kind of real protein like meat, chicken, or fish for more than three months.

“Before the war, we used to cook maqluba with at least four kilos of eggplants. The price of one kilo of eggplant is more than 45 shekels. That’s approximately $12.50. Talking about tomatoes, the price is more than 90 shekels, which is approximately $27 per kilo”
