The situation for infants in the besieged territory is worsening as baby formula prices are surging due to severe shortages, Laila al-Shana, project manager with the NGO, Humans To Be, told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no food for infants like fruits or vegetables or even medicines for them,\u201d she told the media outlet from the Bureij refugee camp.<\/p>\n
She explained that the cost of baby formula has soared to about $100 per can.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t buy it for my children, so I\u2019m very afraid for them. \u2026 It\u2019s like it\u2019s threatening the lives of infants all around Gaza,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Al-Shana\u2019s work at the non-profit organisation involved providing psychological support to children, but she said that aspect has come to a halt.<\/p>\n
\u201cI stopped \u2026 because the most important thing before making psychological decisions \u2026 is they should have food. That is a priority,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
