"The idea of making food from canned food aid comes from what is available in the markets. My sister, a nutritionist, helps me, and I cooperate with her to produce food. We produce videos twice a week, and this depends on the availability of electricity and the Internet, because it is very difficult to obtain them in these circumstances."

"During the six-month period, we were exposed to preservatives found in canned food and the same type of food, so symptoms of diseases associated with them began to appear, especially for children and pregnant women. Unfortunately, there is no treatment available for it in our region at the present time, and this has led to complications that have reached the point of death for some patients due to that."

Eleven-year-old Renad Atallah in the war-torn Gaza Strip has been posting vlogs about food and sharing her daily life on social media.
Although Israel has destroyed most of the infrastructure in Gaza, including hospitals, schools, electricity lines, water supplies and communications since the conflict began in last October, internet service has recently resumed in some areas.
Palestinians are taking advantage of the Internet availability to share what's happening in the region. Vloggers are also reporting on topics ranging from news to daily life.
In central Deir al-Balah city, filled with camps for displaced Palestinians, Renad took advantage of an open space on the roof of their house to make videos about food and how to cook them.
Despite the Israeli drones circling above the city all day, she manages to file a new video at least once a week.
The media journey began when Renad received a food aid package and filed a video unboxing the package and inspecting the contents. She posted the video on Instagram, and it reached 3 million views in less than a day.

The number of Renad's followers has increased as she shares her cooking skills.
Nourhan Atallah, Renad's older sister, is a pharmacist and nutritionist and helps provide critical information.
