A recent report by the IPC reveals that almost half a million individuals in Gaza are at risk of starvation following a prolonged suspension of humanitarian aid by Israel. This blockade, aimed at pressuring Hamas to release Israeli hostages, has resulted in severe food shortages. The UN reports that essential supplies are stranded at the border, and local humanitarian organizations have run out of food staples, leading to the closure of kitchens. Palestinians now resort to grinding pasta and lentils to create flour, as prices for basics like wheat flour have soared to unprecedented levels.
"Nearly half a million people in Gaza are now facing starvation due to the halt of humanitarian aid for over ten weeks, highlighting a dire humanitarian crisis."
"Humanitarian groups like the UN World Food Programme have exhausted supplies, forcing the closure of kitchens and bakeries. People are struggling to make bread from pasta and lentils."
