So people cannot afford that.

I was very touched by Fida actually when she said that now in Palestine they don't have olive oil, they have seeds oil and this is making a havoc.
Sorry, because, you know, in my house, one liter of olive oil is 15 days, you know.

So it's traumatic.
I'm not Palestinian, and look at me.
So I can't imagine for them.

And it's not only hunger.
It's also privating you of your identity and your taste, which is olive oil.

It's their territory.
