Humanitarian Crisis Worsens

The World Food Programme (WFP) has warned of a worsening food crisis in Gaza, with prices of basic commodities rising by over 1000%. The WFP has managed to deliver some flour to bakeries in Gaza this week, but the situation remains dire.

List: Effects of the Humanitarian Crisis

• Food prices have risen by over 1000%
• Many bakeries have closed due to lack of flour and fuel
• Bread is often the only food available to many families in Gaza
• Displacement and poverty rates have increased significantly

Bakeries Struggle to Stay Open

Although 7 bakeries in central Gaza have recently started operating, they are often forced to close and reopen due to the lack of flour and fuel. Bread is a staple food for many families in Gaza, and the shortage of flour has made it difficult for bakeries to produce bread.

"The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic," said a spokesperson for the WFP. "We are doing our best to deliver aid to those in need, but the situation is dire."

Airstrikes Continue

Israeli airstrikes have continued to target various locations in Gaza, including homes, buildings, and infrastructure. The airstrikes have caused widespread destruction and displacement, and have resulted in a significant loss of life.
