Gaza Professor's Plea: 'We Are Starving, The War Must End'

Gaza Crisis: Professor Details Dire Conditions Faced by Refugees Gaza, Palestine – In the wake of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, a harrowing account from Dr. Mohammed Taleb, a Palestinian professor of pharmacy, sheds light on the devastating impact on civilians. Dr. Taleb, speaking from his home in Gaza, described a stark shift from his pre-October 7th, 2023 life. "Before October 7th, 2023, we were living a very normal life," he stated, contrasting his former routine with the current reality of widespread displacement and starvation. The professor detailed his efforts to provide aid, visiting schools and hospitals to assist refugees. He revealed a shocking statistic: "Each adult man gets about 400 kilocalories, while the normal need is 2500." This stark contrast underscores the severity of the food crisis. Dr. Taleb's testimony paints a picture of widespread suffering, with many families facing extreme hunger. His concern extends beyond immediate needs; he fears that if the conflict continues, "the Israelis will finish us here, and the rest will be expelled to the Sinai desert." However, he remains resolute in his hope for peace, stating "We will never go to the Sinai desert; we will remain in our homeland." Dr. Taleb's account serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza. His testimony highlights the need for immediate aid and a lasting resolution to the conflict, allowing the people of Gaza to rebuild their lives and return to normalcy.
