‘There’s nothing,’ says starving man in Gaza

Salim Asfour looks off to the side as he drinks a sip of water.

This Palestinian man says he has lost nearly half his body weight because there’s no food in Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war. Salim Asfour, 85, says he’s too weak to walk the 20 kilometres to get aid and worries about sending his children. Warning: This video shows images of severe malnutrition.
