MSF: Gaza staff forced to eat pigeon food

A Doctors Without Borders (MSF) logistician trapped in Gaza has reported having to eat pigeon food in order to survive. 

“After about four or five months, some food became available – canned food and a small amount of lentils and rice. But the prices are extremely high," he said in a video published by the NGO.

He added that there is no treatment available for his hypertension and diabetes, and that people are  forced to use alternative herbal treatments instead of medication.

Eating pigeon food.
No diabetes medicines.
Still treating people for burns and trauma.
