Overview

• The World Food Programme (WFP) has exhausted all food reserves in Gaza, delivering its final stocks to hot meal kitchens on April 25, which are expected to run out in the coming days.
• No humanitarian or commercial supplies have entered Gaza for over seven weeks due to a total blockade imposed by Israel on March 2, 2025.
• More than 116,000 tonnes of food aid, sufficient to feed one million people for four months, remain stuck at border crossings awaiting reopening.
• The humanitarian crisis has escalated, with food prices surging by 1,400% and reports of starvation-related deaths, including 50 children, according to Gaza authorities.
• Israeli officials link the blockade and military operations to pressure Hamas on hostage negotiations, while international calls to resume aid deliveries have so far failed to yield results.
