Gazans resort to grinding lentils and pasta for bread baking amid flour shortages

In food-starved Gaza, residents have resorted to grinding lentils, pasta and rice for baking bread amid severe shortages of flour.

"Where is the humanity of the world that sees us every day?

For more than 60 days, not even a glass of water has entered through the crossings.

Our people want to live, our children want to eat," says Mahmoud Dardouna, standing outside a mill shop in Jabalia camp, in northern Gaza.

Despite imposing a now two-month-long blockade of aid on Gaza, which it says is aimed at putting pressure on Palestinian militant group Hamas, Israel insists there is no humanitarian crisis in the territory.
