Mohammed al-Darbi, 11: “We’re eating sand instead of bread.”

Elevn-year-old Mohammed al-Darbi is one of the children struggling to survive in Gaza that the Israeli newspaper Haaretz spotlighted in a report published. Haaretz said he appeared in a video recorded around July 1 on al-Rashid Street in Gaza City. 

Al-Darbi appears near an aid delivery center. "There is no flour in Gaza City," he says. "Every day they tell us that there are aid trucks; we go there and come back with nothing.

"There is no food, have pity on us. We're eating sand instead of bread."

Haaretz said Al-Darbi is one of the countless children crowding around when the aid center is opened.
