Gaza is on the brink of famine, with the UN's World Food Program announcing it has run out of food stock after eight weeks of Israel's humanitarian aid blockade. This blockade has severely limited food access, leaving many Palestinians reliant on the last rations distributed by WFP, which were meant for hot meal kitchens serving about 1 million people. The situation has deteriorated to an extent that bakeries have closed, and relief agencies warn of catastrophic consequences if aid does not resume soon. The entire population is experiencing unprecedented levels of hunger and desperation.
Gaza officials have warned of famine spreading throughout the Strip, threatening the lives of millions.
The UN's food agency announced on Friday that it has run out of all food stock in Gaza after eight weeks of Israel's humanitarian aid blockade.
Earlier this month, all bakeries in the region were forced to close after flour and fuel stocks were depleted across Gaza.
The end of food assistance in Gaza would have horrific consequences.
