Gaza Faces Critical Food Shortages as Blockade Persists

Israel's blockade, now in its longest stretch since March 18, 2025, has left Gaza on the brink, with bakeries running out of flour and aid supplies nearly depleted.

• The Israeli blockade has halted all food, medicine, and supply deliveries to Gaza for over three weeks, creating the longest stretch without aid since the conflict began.
• The World Food Programme warns that food stocks in Gaza will last no more than two weeks, with bakeries expected to run out of flour within days.
• Skyrocketing food prices, including a 400% increase in wheat flour costs, have made basic goods unaffordable for many Palestinians.
• Over 50,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023, with ongoing airstrikes destroying infrastructure and worsening the humanitarian crisis.
• International organizations and rights groups continue to call for an end to the blockade, describing it as a potential violation of humanitarian law.
