Overview
- The World Food Programme announced on April 25 that it had delivered its final food stocks to Gaza's hot-meal kitchens, which will run out of food within days.
- Israel's blockade, ongoing since March 2, has halted all humanitarian and commercial supplies, marking the longest closure in Gaza's history.
- More than 116,000 metric tons of food aid, enough to feed one million people for four months, remain stuck at the border due to the blockade.
- Food prices in Gaza have surged by 1,400%, leaving most families unable to afford basic necessities, with widespread hunger and malnutrition escalating.
- International leaders, including the foreign ministers of France, Germany, and the UK, have called for the blockade's end, warning of mass starvation and humanitarian collapse.
