Archivist Notes On This Video

Salwa Al-Masry, a displaced and sick mother, supports her fourteen children by making bread in her tent and selling it to the displaced.

Translation: "*I was displaced from Beit Hanoun (North Gaza) to Deir al-Balah (Central Gaza) and am a mother to 14 children. Currently flour has ran out so I have to cleans flour from weevils and mites and use it to bake bread for my children to eat. It is unconscionable that we have to eat such flour infested with insects. It's unfair and we're sick and tired of it. I opened an oven to bake bread charging 1 shekel for every 10 pieces. I work hard all day doing that and I can't even make 20 shekels ($ 5) per day. All of this so I can bring my children something they can eat with their bread, thyme or sesame oil etc. But right now everything has ran out and is expensive and unaffordable. I swear by God I can't bring my children anything to feed them."
