‘From the Ghalaba to the Ghalaba’ – from the poor to the poor – is a neighborhood undertaking that permits Palestinians in Gaza to supply assist to at least one one other.

Within the pictures beneath, Gaza volunteers present meals to the poor in the course of the holy month of Ramadan.

The undertaking is gaining momentum as a result of rising meals insecurity and rising costs within the besieged Gaza Strip – as in the remainder of Palestine.

In a latest Palestine Chronicle editorial, Ramzy Baroud wrote, “Important meals costs, like wheat and meat, have almost doubled. The value of a rooster, for instance, which was solely accessible to a small phase of Gaza’s inhabitants, has elevated from 20 shekels (approx. $6) to 45 (approx. $14).”

“Palestine wants quick consideration to stave off a serious meals disaster. Gaza’s pre-existing excessive poverty and excessive unemployment go away it with no margins in anyway to accommodate any extra calamities. Nevertheless, something finished now can solely be a short-term repair,” Baroud added.

“A severe dialog involving Palestinians, Arab nations, the United Nations Meals and Agriculture Group and different events should happen to debate and resolve Palestine’s meals insecurity. For Palestinians, that is the true existential menace.”
