Qusai goes to the barber in a displaced people's camp in South Gaza Strip, since he hasn't been to one for 6 months (He must have very slow growing hair). [Qusai claims to have been the one to popularize the phrase "Ishi Fantastic" (Something Fantastic). I don't know if this is true] TikTok timestamp: 6 days ago #TheGazaYouDontSee https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYGUxc9F/

This TikTok (and Instagram) account is soliciting donations in order to distribute UN aid flour, oil, salt and yeast in Gaza. This is not how free aid is distributed in Gaza. You get a coupon and you go and pick up the free aid at an UNRWA warehouse. This looks like stolen aid, and these are most likely swindlers.

Cigarettes! Finally! Mustang cigarettes have entered Gaza. The price is currently 50 shekels ($13.75) for a packet. This man isn't happy, however. He would prefer shampoo, or at least Hawaii soap (an Israeli brand). There have been a lot of complaints about the shortage of shampoo recently.

This young Gaza woman in North Gaza shows how she eats Jordanian MRE of rice and chicken, and passiflora and grapes, posted yesterday, 15 July. She says she paid $40 for the fruit!!! I mean passiflora is delicious, so are grapes, but I would give both a pass at that price, especially if I were facing food shortages. [Strangely enough, in the fruit post she says the war has been going on for 10 months and in the MRE post she says it's been going on for 11 months. I'm terrible at math, but even I can work out that it's only been 9 months since Oct 7, and that a month doesn't pass in a matter of 5 hours!] TikTok timestamps: 11 + 16 hours ago. #TheGazaYouDontSee https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYGNH15U/ https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYGNRTEX/

Some Gazans legitimately have obstacles accessing food supplies. However, some social media videos from Gazans themselves show a different reality. One embodied by criticism over humanitarian aid, not desperation. Part 3 of my collab with https://t.me/HonestReporting
