Saeed Abu Libda, wounded trying to get flour for his family — but he survived

As famine spreads through Gaza, the few food trucks are often looted, either by armed gangs or by people who are just desperate to feed their families.

Saeed Abu Libda, a 44 year-old father of five, recently managed to pick up one sack of flour when a truck passed by near Khan Younis. "I know it was risky but we need to eat," he told DW by phone.



Abu Libda said there were thousands of people waiting for the trucks, when suddenly he heard two shells being fired. "I saw people on the ground, some were injured, some were cut to pieces. I was injured by a shrapnel in my abdomen, but luckily it was a light injury.”
