He said that people had to “just survive”, and describes what he would surpass pasta through WhatsApp messages and knead him in a dough before cooking it over a fire to create a imitation of bread – a staple in the Palestinian diet.

“We invented paths to cook and eat that we never imagined, we would need,” he said.

He added that the one meal a day he had eaten lately was “just enough to do the day, but it is anything but enough to meet our energy needs”.
