Supermarkets in Gaza are emptying of stock amid ongoing air strikes

Residents in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp say that supermarkets are quickly being emptied of stock as survivors scramble to get hold of food.

“We are not terrorists, America! We just want to live… we came here to get milk or biscuits or anything, and air strikes struck the supermarket,” one resident told Al Jazeera Arabic.

The supermarket in Nuseirat has been targeted at least three times before, since the start of the war on 7 October, leaving it heavily damaged. 

It is one of the few remaining markets in the densely populated area that still has stock of food items, with only one other bakery still functioning in the camp. 

Israel imposed a full siege on Gaza on 9 October, cutting off all electricity, fuel, food and water to the besieged enclave.
