"On Wednesday this week, Mr Yusef explains, his family didn't eat during daylight at all. "We had our breakfast in the evening. My wife said: 'All day you haven't been able to find something.' A visiting friend overheard and lent Mr Yusef 10 shekels to buy some luncheon meat, which provided their one meal of the day. The last time his family ate meat was on 5 April when his son, a member of the old Fatah-dominated security forces, was paid his £220 monthly salary from Ramallah."
