Dairy farmers are struggling to supply fresh milk to hungry Palestinians in Gaza as they cannot get enough feed for their herds and cows are being killed by Israeli air strikes. Fresh milk is now a rare commodity for many of the 2.3 million Gazans after almost four months of war that has displaced farmers and livestock and disrupted the flow of food aid to the enclave. “People come to ask for milk for their children, but I can’t give them any because the cows don’t produce enough,” said Rafiq Al Dahdouh, a Gaza farmer who has lost most of his animals to Israeli shelling.
