This claim comes from a quote from an article written by France 24. It says that on last tuesday (November 11, 2025) many people were lined up in the charity kitchen waiting to be served, but could only be served rice, most of these people being children.

The exact claim here is that children are only able to be given rice in Nuseirat refugee camp, this sounds like they are saying only able to eat rice. The original link shows us that "the only food available that day" was rice. After investigating a different source: https://truthout.org/articles/those-with-chronic-illness-in-gaza-say-theyre-denied-a-bare-minimum-to-survive/?utm_ we can see that there is food scarcity and kids in Nuseirat have limited options in the airdrops. However, there is more than just rice, there are foods like lentils, pasta, canned veg and bread. The only source that says there is only rice is this one: https://www.arabnews.com/node/2622366/middle-east?utm_ we can see that one day at one particular kitchen they were only serving rice. Overall, this claim is misleading. While not entirely false, it was from one day at one kitchen there was only rice. There is food scarcity for sure but generally the kids in Nuseirat have a few other options.
