Palestinians forced to mix animal fodder with flour to make bread 

Palestinians in Gaza are resorting to extreme measures amid growing starvation due to Israel's bombardment and siege. 

Families have been forced to use animal fodder and bird feed baked into their bread, sometimes causing medical problems, particularly in young children. 

Abu Alaa, an owner of a mill in central Gaza, said that the food available to people is inedible. 

“People are mixing bird feed and animal food into their food. This is not right, it's not healthy. People are grinding this and mixing it into their bread,” he told Middle East Eye.
