loaf

I enjoyed some fresh strawberries and a loaf of bread.

Every day in the past week, Umm Ahmed has stood with her children in a huge queue outside a bakery in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, where ultimately some loaves are given out.

Moreover, the large size of the loaves, approximately 3 kg, suggested they were likely intended for communal consumption.

But rather than fix it, the owner sends balls of dough to another firm that shoves them in a working oven and sells the loaves back to the baker.

One discarded pile of oat pulp or moldy loaf of bread, at a time.
