Life without refrigerators: Gaza residents fight heat and food spoilage

In Gaza City, displaced residents like Malak al-Zaanin are struggling to preserve food without access to electricity, which has been severely limited due to Israel's siege. Without functioning refrigerators, perishable goods quickly spoil in the intense heat, forcing families to make difficult choices about food consumption. The United Nations has raised concerns about the growing risk of foodborne illness and spoilage due to the lack of refrigeration, compounded by fuel shortages that hinder essential services. Many families rely on makeshift solutions, such as repurposing old appliances, but these measures are insufficient against the harsh conditions. The situation highlights the broader humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where basic needs like clean water and cooling are becoming increasingly unattainable.
