since the outbreak of a new round of israeli-palestinian conflict in october last year, humanitarian aid has been difficult to deliver to the northern gaza strip due to the israeli blockade, and palestinians living in the northern gaza strip have been forced to find food to survive under the threat of israeli artillery fire. let's follow the reporter's camera to see how a palestinian woman walks through the ruins and searches for food in fear to feed her family.

wum is a palestinian woman living in the jabaliya refugee camp in the northern gaza strip. due to the blockade by the israeli army, there is a serious shortage of daily necessities here. the local palestinians can only get a little food from the charity kitchen every now and then to barely fill their stomachs. after receiving the food, wum still has to walk through the ruins in fear, fearing that the israeli air strikes will make her never return.

umm, a resident of jabaliya refugee camp:every step we take, we have to pray to the heavens. we are so scared. now i have received some food, but i can't guarantee that i can return home safely. i can't guarantee it, i can only pray. look at the streets here. i am a resident here. our houses and lives have been bombed. our neighborhoods, our neighbors, everything we love has been reduced to ruins.

when they cannot get food relief, gaza residents can only try to buy food from others at high prices. however, in this conflict that has lasted for more than ten months, um and her family have long lost their source of income and cannot afford to buy food in the market.

with her life shattered and her economy unsustainable, wum is very much looking forward to the conflict being resolved so that her life can return to normal.

umm, a resident of jabaliya refugee camp:even if you can find some vegetables, you can't afford them. a kilo of tomatoes costs 100 nis (about 20 yuan), and bell peppers used to be 100 nis, but now they cost 300 nis (about 82 yuan). how can you afford it? the situation is getting worse day by day, and people have no money to buy things. some people have lost their children, their families, and their relatives have left their homes. i hope to meet those relatives who have left their homes. i beg you to have mercy on the palestinians, have compassion on the palestinians, we are tired of what we have suffered, we are tired of what we have seen.
