The World Food Programme (WFP) has declared that its food stocks in Gaza have been exhausted due to an ongoing blockade by Israel, leaving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians without access to essential food supplies. Almost 80% of the population in Gaza, exceeding two million, depends on charity kitchens for meals, with the WFP previously supporting 37 kitchens that produced around half a million meals daily. As shortages escalate and food prices dramatically rise, malnutrition levels are soaring, particularly among children, highlighting a growing humanitarian crisis.
The World Food Programme (WFP) announced that it has run out of food supplies in Gaza due to Israel's blockade, affecting hundreds of thousands.
Roughly 80% of Gaza's over two million residents depend on charity kitchens for sustenance, as other food sources have ceased to function.
The WFP supported 37 kitchens that provided 500,000 meals a day, though it remains uncertain how many will remain operational post-blockade.
The blockade has triggered a surge in malnutrition, with the UN reporting a staggering 3,700 children suffering from acute malnutrition, a significant increase.
