'There's nothing in the markets' 

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are struggling to find basic food items to eat as the Israeli siege on the Palestinian enclave continues to worsen the deadly hunger crisis. 

A resident of Gaza City told Middle East Eye she can't find nutritious food in the markets, and when they are found, they are sold at unaffordable prices.   

"There are no vegetables, fruits or milk in the markets. Nothing that has any nutritional value," the resident, who didn't wish to be named, told MEE. 

"I received a food basket from the World Food Programme over a month ago, containing halva, beans, hummus, peas and cold cuts.

"I've been rationing them because if I run out I will have nothing to eat."
