Gazans eating animal foods

As the plight of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is worsening day after day under the devastating Israeli onslaught, #GazaStarving is trending on social media platforms with videos showing hungry people eating animal food and animals nibbling decomposed human bodies lying on streets.

Several videos showed hungry Palestinians eating animal food, while cats and dogs nibbled the human bodies lying on streets.

The Israeli army's inhumane actions continue, disrespecting unburied decomposed bodies of Palestinians in the southern Khan Younis city, and preventing people from collecting them from the rubble, eyewitnesses said.

Eyewitnesses said some Palestinians returned to the areas from where Israeli forces had withdrawn to find the bodies of their loved ones, including children and women, who were attempting to flee from the city of Khan Younis to Rafah in the far south but were targeted by Israeli tanks.

Several videos that used the hashtag showed Palestinians eating bread made of fodder.

According to a reporter in northern Gaza, it was observed that the animal fodder was being sold in northern Gaza markets for human consumption as wheat flour was in short supply.

The UN had warned that 2.2 million people in the Gaza Strip, under intense Israeli attacks, are at risk of famine.
