Life without refrigerators: Gaza residents fight heat and food spoilage
- Gaza City — Inside the tent Malak al-Zaanin has lived in since being displaced from her home in Gaza, the mother of four holds a tray of rice her family received that afternoon from a nearby community kitchen.
- She has already shared the meal with her husband and children, but her next worry is how to keep the valued leftovers from spoiling in the sweltering heat.
- Before the war, her refrigerator kept food fresh for days, but due to a lack of electricity caused by Israel’s siege on Gaza, it now sits unused inside the tent.
