The average Palestinian in Gaza is living on 2 pieces of bread a day, UN official says

The Gaza director for the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says the average Palestinian in Gaza is living on two pieces of Arabic bread made from flour that the U.N. had stockpiled in the region. Thomas White said Friday the Palestinian refugee agency is supporting about 89 bakeries across Gaza aiming to get bread to 1.7 million people. But, he says, the refrain from people on the street now is “Water! Water!” The U.N. deputy Mideast coordinator said only one of three water supply lines from Israel is operational. She said many people are relying on brackish or saline ground water.
