Overview

• 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.
