According to the Swedish Food Agency’s recommendations, an adult should eat between 2,000 and 2,500 calories per day, depending on age and gender. The people of Gaza eat about 10 percent of the recommended caloric intake. A figure that is very worrying according to Mia Hejdenberg.
– It is a catastrophic situation. It is incredibly difficult to get supplies in right now because of tight controls and the tight regulation inside Gaza.

The body gradually wears off
Taking in so few calories has a major negative impact on the body and health. When the body does not get enough energy, it begins to shut down various important functions.
– You often get poorer circulation, reduced energy, it becomes more difficult to move. The longer time goes by, the body also begins to break down muscle. This is what it looks like gradually until the body can no longer bear it and shuts down completely, says Hejdenberg.
