there is no food left in gaza
"..The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP)
announced on 25 April that it has depleted its food stocks in Gaza, warning that humanitarian conditions are deteriorating rapidly as border crossings remain closed for a seventh consecutive week.
According to the agency, the last of WFP’s available food supplies were delivered to community kitchens across the Gaza Strip, which have been
serving as a primary source of food assistance for many displaced families. WFP explained that these kitchens are expected to run out of food within days. As of 25 April 2025, the kitchens were able to provide meals to roughly half of Gaza’s population, covering only about
25 percent of their daily food requirements.
By the end of March 2025, the WFP had to close all 25 bakeries it was supporting because they ran out of wheat flour and cooking fuel. Around the same time, food parcels which are pre-packed boxes or bags containing essential food items like rice, flour, canned goods, cooking oil, and sometimes basic hygiene products meant to last families two weeks were also used up.
The WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian organization focused on emergency food assistance and long-term food security efforts. The organization
said it is very worried about the shortage of clean water and cooking fuel, with many people now burning whatever they can find to cook meals.
The agency further highlighted that no humanitarian or commercial goods have entered Gaza since the border closures
started since 2 March, more than seven weeks ago, making this the longest shutdown the area has ever faced.
As a result, food prices have soared by up to 1,400 percent compared to prices during the
last ceasefire commenced on 19 January 2025. This agreement, part of a multi-phase deal, aimed to halt hostilities and facilitate the release of hostages. However, the ceasefire
collapsed on 18 March 2025, . Essential food items are scarce, raising serious nutrition concerns, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children under five, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and the elderly.
The WFP
stated that more than 116,000 metric tons of food, sufficient to support one million people for up to four months, are currently stored near Gaza and can be distributed once the border crossings are open.
..
he agency stressed that the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached a breaking point and warned that without immediate action to allow aid and trade to enter, its operations could not continue. WFP
called on all parties to prioritize civilian needs and comply with international humanitarian law by permitting the entry of aid.
On March 2, Israel halted the entry of food, fuel,
medicine, and other supplies into Gaza, and two weeks later, resumed airstrikes and ground operations, ending a two-month ceasefire with Hamas. Israeli officials stated that these actions are intended to
pressure Hamas to release the remaining hostages. Meanwhile, human rights organizations including
Human Rights Watch and
Oxfam have described the blockade as a “starvation tactic” and warned that it could constitute a war crime
