What does Numbers 21:5 mean?

They complained to God and Moses, saying, 'Why did you bring us out of Egypt just to die in this desert? There’s no bread, no water, and we’re sick of this awful food.' Numbers 21:5 - Modern Text Bible

(The people’s frustration boils over. They’re tired, hungry, and fed up with the manna God’s been providing.)
