Hunger and anxiety in Khan Younis as Gaza residents rely on charity for survival.

Women and children in Khan Younis line up with pots to receive cooked meals from charity-run Tikkiyya kitchens, a daily ritual for many families. Food is short as border crossings limit aid inflows, making local market prices prohibitive for many. Displaced residents describe struggle to get even one meal a day, a problem that worsens during Ramadan as demand rises around sundown. Living conditions become more unsafe. In Khan Younis, a crumbling wall crushed tents housing displaced people, killing two women and a toddler. Survivors first mistaken the incident for an airstrike. The majority of Gaza’s population today depends on humanitarian aid due to widespread destruction, with over 40 million tons of rubble impeding daily living with shortages, weak shelters, and constant uncertainty.
