Palestinians having to wait hours for hot meal

Palestinian families in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, are having to wait in queues for hours in order to receive a hot meal, according to the UN aid agency, Unrwa.

The entire Gaza Strip is facing a food shortage, and the spread of disease is rampant in overcrowded tent communities formed by Palestinians displaced from Israel's war in the enclave.
