Nagham Atef, 22, is from Mejid Der el Balah. She is a medical scholar and volunteer physician. She shares with us how her morning is:

The time is now 9 within the morning. That is my breakfast. I normally have breakfast at 6 am however now we’re delaying breakfast in order that we don't should eat multiple meal per day.

This breakfast is cheese, herbs, black pepper and olive oil on bread, we name it “mancouche”.

That's all I eat until the night, if we're fortunate we'll be capable of eat once more, in any other case it's all until tomorrow. And we contemplate ourselves extra lucky than our brothers and sisters within the North who haven’t any meals in any respect.

Earlier on the breakfast desk, we used to eat this bread, “mankouche”, with potatoes, salad, eggs, falafel, beans…however now many households rely solely on this bread to outlive.

Costs are so excessive, even for basic items, and affording meal of meat or rooster has turn out to be a luxurious.
