Gaza: Palestinian fishermen have been forced to resort to eating turtle meat due to severe food shortages caused by Israel’s total blockade of humanitarian aid. The situation in Gaza has worsened in recent weeks, with supplies running dangerously low, leaving people with few options for food.
Local sources report that the lack of access to essential food items, including staples such as flour and rice, has led residents to turn to alternatives, such as turtle meat, which has traditionally been a rare and unconventional food source in the region. Palestinian fishermen, struggling to make a living amid the blockade, have had to adapt to the circumstances, even though consuming turtle meat raises concerns over environmental and legal implications.
This crisis is a direct result of the ongoing blockade, which has severely limited the flow of humanitarian aid, exacerbating the already dire situation in Gaza. The international community has called for urgent action to address the escalating humanitarian crisis, but as of now, no substantial relief has reached the region. Further updates are expected as the food scarcity continues to deepen.
