Bushra Khalidi, from the British charity Oxfam, says the situation in besieged northern Gaza has deteriorated so drastically that people have resorted to eating animal feed, donkeys and horses just to survive.
The Israeli military has blocked food from entering northern Gaza for 10 days, something Khalidi called “unacceptable”.
“People are not surviving. People are very likely dying of starvation as they have been since the beginning of the war. The problem is, we’re talking about levels of destruction that didn’t exist several months ago,” Khalidi told Al Jazeera.
“I don’t know how people will survive. It’s likely they’ll die of starvation, die from the massacres we’re seeing in the north, or die trying to evacuate to the south,” she added.
Khalidi said most Palestinians were “ready to die in their homes” rather than doing the “death march” to southern Gaza.
