People are not starving in Gaza but there is what the aid agencies call “food insecurity”. To see what this means we visited the family of Fauzi Abu Gerada in Gaza City. It is dusk, a crescent moon was just visible overhead, and Fauzi has lit a fire. This is for cooking, heat, and light, as the electricity is still off in Gaza City. Fauzi is 40 years old and has been unemployed since the intifada that started in 2000 prevented him from crossing into Israel to work as a labourer.
