“More love and power to you, Rafif and everyone fighting for their everyday life,” one user wrote.
A viral post from war-torn Gaza has left many online heartbroken, especially in India, after a resident shared how much it took to get his daughter her favourite treat — a pack of Parle-G biscuits.
Mohammad Jawad, a Gaza-based X user, posted a touching video of himself with his daughter sitting on his lap as she carefully opened a biscuit wrapper and began to eat.
“After a long wait, I finally got Ravif her favourite biscuits today,” he wrote, adding that the price had skyrocketed from €1.5 to over €24 — roughly ₹2,342. In India, the same pack (single) of Parle-G sells for just ₹5. However, it was unclear whether the Gaza man mentioned the price of a single packet or a multiple set for the hefty price.

The post quickly went viral, not just for the emotional moment it captured, but also for highlighting the alarming food crisis in Gaza.
The Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023, and it continues with no clear end in sight. Gaza reportedly remains under siege — cut off from essentials and facing famine-like conditions. Basic food items, once affordable, are now scarce luxuries. This now-viral X post by Jawad was the proof.
