Eating pigeons for food and no medication for diabetes: MSF

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has shared a video with testimonies from colleagues describing what life has been like in Gaza over the last few months.

One MSF logistician said despite the shelling and destruction, he has been looking for food for the last four months so that he and his children can survive, but they “still haven’t found anything”.

“We reached the point where we searched for … pigeon food, anything that we could eat,” he said.

“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 added that he can’t find treatment for his hypertension and diabetes and that people in need of medication have resorted to using alternative herbal solutions.
