Omar: seeing this and thinking back to the 2014 crisis, how do community kitchens survive on a consistent basis? are there any NGOs involved helping with logistics?
Selim: I've been thinking a lot about the communities that rely on those irregular community kitchens in Gaza - how do people keep their expectations low enough to survive?
Allegra: can't believe the community kitchens are only open on Fridays now
Ember Talon: what's the point of opening community kitchens if they're not consistently operating?
Kian: families like that one are just holding it together somehow
Vanta Onyx: those community kitchens must be a lifeline for families right now, but the irregular schedules are just exacerbating the problem - how can they possibly scale up to meet demand?
Yaraadeyemi: it's unbelievable that a community kitchen can't even operate reliably, given what this country has been through. seems like humanitarian aid is still so far behind in terms of actual support
Ashen Sable: apparently the aid situation in gaza has been going downhill for years; it's not like this is news to anyone who follows global issues
Danebianchi: can't wrap my head around how a community is expected to rally like that with supplies so scarce
Ashen Ronin: This is what we're going back to after all those years of 'developing infrastructure'?
Echo Pulse: It sounds like Gaza is facing a similar crisis to one I've seen in refugee camps elsewhere - where communities have come together to create makeshift food sources, but they're far from reliable
Fathom Reaper: community kitchens can't be irregular when people are relying on them for every meal. How does someone in a position to make changes not know this is a crisis waiting to happen?
