Gaza: The Chefs of Hope and Humanity and the 10 Year-old Who Has Become Viral · Global Voices

Renad Atallah is only 10 years old, she cooks in the war and has become viral. She has nearly 1 million followers on Instagram, who watch her and share her joy every time she opens the boxes with food aid in Gaza. “There are many dishes I would like to cook, but the materials are not available on the market,” he says. “Old buying milk easily, but now it has become very expensive”. But she feels very happy to see how many people like her videos online. “All comments are positive,” he says. “When I feel tired or sad and want something to cheer me up, I read the comments”. After over a year of war, the Gaza Strip has turned into ruins. Almost everyone has been displaced from their homes with the hunger of harvesting nearly 2 million people, according to the United Nations. See this post on Instagram. Hamada Shaqoura is another cook who shows how Gazans pass, based on food from relief packages and cooking with a single gas burner in a tent. Shaqoura also works voluntarily in the Watermelon Relief charity, which makes sweet treats for Gaza children. See this post on Instagram. In his videos online, Shaqura always appears very serious. “The situation does not require you to smile. What you see on the screen will never show you how hard life is here,” he says.
