Photo Caption:
“The children of Gaza are visibly malnourished, reduced to searching the streets for food and assistance. It is unimaginable that an entire population is left to starve while vast amounts of supplies sit waiting just a few miles away across the border.
“On my way into Gaza, I passed hundreds of trucks, all unable to reach those in dire need. Only by ensuring that the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings, as well as the northern Karni and Erez crossings are used at full capacity will civilians have a chance of receiving sufficient life-saving aid.
