With Israel&#8217;s blockade restricting imports and the near-total destruction of Gaza\u2019s agricultural sector, food supplies are critically low. Bakeries are on the verge of shutting down due to dwindling flour reserves and a lack of fuel, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6583\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6583 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/News-about-animal-feed-amidst-the-famine-in-northern-Gaza-Strip.jpg\" alt=\"The Israeli war in Gaza\" width=\"768\" height=\"839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/News-about-animal-feed-amidst-the-famine-in-northern-Gaza-Strip.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/News-about-animal-feed-amidst-the-famine-in-northern-Gaza-Strip-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/News-about-animal-feed-amidst-the-famine-in-northern-Gaza-Strip-150x164.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/News-about-animal-feed-amidst-the-famine-in-northern-Gaza-Strip-450x492.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Residents of Gaza continue to face severe shortages of essential goods<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1034\">Risk of Famine and Economic Collapse<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1583\">The blockade has led to soaring prices, with the cost of essential goods rising by more than 200%. In response, Gaza\u2019s Interior Ministry has taken action against 61 merchants accused of price manipulation, arresting eight and issuing warnings to others. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Social Development warns that over 2.3 million residents rely on humanitarian aid for survival. The closure of crossings threatens to plunge Gaza into famine, particularly endangering vulnerable populations, including 289,824 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/03\/17\/surviving-against-all-odds-children-of-gazas-hunger-crisis\/\">children<\/a> and 139,764 elderly citizens.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1926\">The blockade has also halted the entry of shelter materials, leaving around 1.5 million displaced people without adequate housing in freezing conditions.
