So as you know I am Palestinian ,I am from Nablus and I live there ,I have a friend from Gaza who I have known for a year before the war had started .

he was born and raised in Gaza and even lived in Gaza during the war for about 7 months before managing to go to Egypt ,I’ve asked my Friend if he’s okay with this and he has said yes and the mods have approved of my request as well

So come on ,you’re not gonna get this chance again

Forgive me if my questions are a little basic.

What is the current food situation like? I know that most of the aid to gaza is blocked, there is little arable land and the sea is largely blocked. I assume that unrwa is playing a major role, but what else are people in gaza doing to survive?

Also, how exactly are people leaving gaza (whenever they do make it out)? Are they being smuggled through the Egyptian border?

It’s impossible to be smuggled to Egypt and if someone thought about getting smuggled they’d be killed immediately

There’s a company named Ya Hala which you have to pay for it at least 5 thousand dollars to travel ,people in Gaza are living on canned food and that’s why there’s so many diseases there

They wake up in the morning and go fill up packets with slated water and they walk extremely long distances to go get sweet water and many times they fail to find sweet water and are obliged to drink the salty water ،so many people have gotten kidney diseases due to it

UNRWA does in fact help but at the most twice a month

Thanks for answering my questions. I appreciate it.

It is a testament to the derangement of the USA and it's proxies that they won't let gazans leave easily, even though it would speed up their plan for ethnically cleansing the area and even give them a source of cheap labor.

people in Gaza are living on canned food and that’s why there’s so many diseases there

I assume these are pre-existing stockpiles?

Sounds horrific. I cannot stop thinking about the genocide myself, and I am not even suffering. I can only imagine what it must be like for you and your friends.

He said you reminded him of his friends that were martyred ,he hates the night nowadays because when the night comes he can’t stop thinking of his friends and the sons and daughters of his uncles that have been martyred ,he keeps dreaming of them
