Palestinian families in Gaza will pay anything (if they got the money) to buy the basics, such as the children milk, Nido.

Such an outrage.

So very wrong.

So cruel.

So widely accepted as being OK.

Brings tears to my eyes.  :-(

A very sad reality indeed.  No one should have to scrounge for food as if they had no right to eat!

Another sad thing was how much crappy food was on USA's table; this is why Americans are so unhealthy!  Most other countries (except Great Britain) had fruit and vegetables on their tables!!

yes ummu moussa!! As I was going scrolling the pictures this was the thought running through my head!!  All the food on the us table was crap! Fast food, processed food...no wonder so many here are unhealthy and obese!   But truely the meaning here is sad, no one should have to smuggle just to get food on the table for their family to eat. How terrible, and so many are so unaware of this even going on in the world....
