Riham, a pregnant woman in Gaza, describes the difficulties she is having to face as food and water supplies deplete in the enclave blockaded by Israel.

She and her family are now seeking refuge at Al-Shifa Hospital after the Israeli military’s threats to bomb houses made them leave her and later her uncle’s house as well.

“All the bakeries have been bombed. There is no food, no water. Water! I’ve been wanting to take my medicine since this morning but there is no water.”
