11-year-old Halid Ibrahim who had to flee al-Waer tells that they had a hard time to find food under the siege. “Thanks God we get free food from the soup kitchen here” he adds.
“We`d Go to Sleep Hungry”
38-year-old Wael Abu Haid says that they had to eat only rice and burghul for 6 months on end in al-Waer, which they finally had to leave.
