Israel-Hamas War 2024: Hunger Crisis Charity Kitchen
January 2, 2025, Rafah, Gaza Strip: Young children crying and fighting for position as people gather to receive meals from the Rafah charitable kitchen (Tekias) as Palestinians face famine amid a severe shortage of flour, aid, and the ongoing closure of crossings under the Gaza siege. There are six tekias in southern Gaza, three in Rafah, two in Khan Younis and one in the middle area, all in locations where displaced families are taking shelter. Each kitchen is staffed with multiple chefs and helpers who make scores of large pots of filling, hot meals. Each pot can make enough food to serve 300. People come to tekias with receptacles, which volunteers fill with food, altogether serving between 50,000 and 70,000 people daily. (Credit Image: © Abed Rahim Khatib/dpa via ZUMA Press)
