Cemeteries in Gaza are being raided for wood as people affected by the ongoing bombardments look for ways to cook food and feed themselves; that’s according to the World Food Programme’s Samer Abdel Jaber who has just visited the south of the enclave.

The conflict in Gaza began after the October 7th attacks by Hamas on Israel which left at least 1200 people dead.

Khaled Mohamed of UN News asked Samer Abdel Jaber what he witnessed on his visit.
