Gazans Wait in Long Lines fr.Supplies in Brief Cease-Fire(Vids)and Little Avigail


Gazans have been out on the streets during the temporary cease-fire between Israel and Hamas to stock up on supplies. Long lines snaked out of gas stations in Khan Younis this week, while merchants in Gaza City set up food stalls amid piles of rubble. But residents say the wait is long and many goods are in short supply.

An aunt of Avigail Idan, the girl who was taken hostage by Hamas after she saw her parents brutally killed and who turned 4 a few days before being released, says that her niece shared one piece of pita bread per day with four others, and did not have a shower or bath during her 50 days in captivity.

Avigail, who is a dual citizen of Israel and the United States, was kept with the four members of the Brodutch family with whom she was kidnapped on Oct. 7. The Brodutches were the Idan family’s neighbors at the Kfar Aza kibbutz, and Avigail had hidden with the family after her parents were shot.
