Watan<\/strong><\/em>-Two million Palestinians in Gaza are starving as Israel\u2019s military siege clamps down on all border crossings, cutting off the last lifelines of food and humanitarian aid. The hunger affects everyone\u2014civilians, journalists, and aid workers alike.<\/p>\n

Initially, the Israeli military claimed that Gaza had enough food for 50 days. But by the time of this report, over 60 days of total closure had passed\u2014not a single bag of flour entered Gaza.<\/p>\n

As a result, all bakeries shut down after a month. Frozen meat vanished from shelves. Imported fruits and vegetables disappeared. Only a small quantity of locally grown vegetables remains\u2014grown in bomb-scarred soil.<\/p>\n

WFP Aid Runs Out as Gaza Families Face Starvation and Soaring Food Prices<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

The World Food Programme (WFP) attempted to respond by distributing emergency food baskets, often just 1 liter of cooking oil and 50 fortified biscuits per family\u2014barely enough to satisfy children. But eventually, the WFP declared its warehouses empty.<\/p>\n

In local markets, extreme demand for basic goods like legumes pushed prices beyond affordability. Most Gazans now survive on canned beans and hummus, while restaurants have closed and those away from home go hungry with nothing to eat.<\/p>\n

The hunger has become visibly painful. People walk faintly, pale-faced, and slow-footed, weakened by forced starvation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a mother of five daughters,\u201d said Rifqa Aziz, 39, to Al-Quds Al-Arabi. \u201cThey ask for dinner and I\u2019m at a loss. I try to provide one or two meals a day, often relying on charity kitchens, but now I can\u2019t even afford flour to bake for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"UN
A survey of 35 humanitarian organizations reveals Israel’s systematic obstruction of aid to Gaza since the ICJ ruling in 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even when food is available, it’s not enough. \u201cThey still cry of hunger after eating,\u201d she adds. \u201cBoiled lentils or beans cooked in water can’t satisfy them after long hours of fasting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aziz said her WFP flour rations are gone. She can\u2019t afford basic cheese or vegetables. A small salad\u20143 tomatoes, 3 cucumbers, and 2 onions\u2014costs about 30 shekels ($10 USD). A single glass of milk per child is now impossible due to the skyrocketing price of sugar, now 80 shekels ($25 USD).<\/p>\n

In Deir al-Balah market, only a few vegetables remain\u2014tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, eggplant, zucchini, molokhia, and cucumbers\u2014with prices per kilo ranging from 30 to 60 shekels. Garlic and lemons are gone.<\/p>\n

After more than a year of war and siege, families have lost their income, savings, and ability to work or travel. Public transportation is expensive. People buy by the piece\u2014one tomato, one cucumber, and a pinch of salt to make a tiny salad to accompany mujaddara (a lentil and rice dish).<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a pharmacy degree,\u201d said Anwar Al-Qader, now selling vegetables on a street stand. \u201cPeople ask about prices but don\u2019t buy. I don\u2019t blame them. I can\u2019t feed my own 11-member family more than bread once a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds: \u201cEven quarter-kilo portions are too much. We tell people small prices just to avoid shocking them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaza Markets Collapse as Prices Soar and Bread Becomes Unaffordable<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Farming in eastern Gaza has also become impossible due to soaring costs, fuel shortages, and Israeli fire targeting agricultural zones. Farmers now risk their lives to reach their land.<\/p>\n

In Deir al-Balah, one kilo of flour costs 40 shekels ($13 USD), enough for only 7 loaves of bread\u2014barely enough for breakfast for five children. Even traditional handmade bakeries have shut down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to bake Iraqi-style bread,\u201d said Abdullah Fayad, a local baker. \u201cBut now a bag of flour costs $300\u2014how could I sell one loaf for a dollar? It\u2019s unaffordable. I can\u2019t even feed my own children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flour shortages meant that families didn\u2019t store flour, fearing it would spoil in Gaza\u2019s heat. \u201cWe didn\u2019t expect to be cut off for this long,\u201d he added. \u201cNow our children are starving.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Broader Crisis:<\/h3>\n

Gaza faces an unprecedented humanitarian disaster. Israel imposed a total blockade<\/a> after violating the March 18 ceasefire with Palestinian factions. On that same night, over 400 Palestinians were killed in one sudden attack.<\/p>\n

Israel closed all crossings on March 2, and since then, not a single aid truck has entered.<\/p>\n

The World Food Programme announced its food stocks in Gaza had been fully depleted. The last aid was delivered to 47 charity kitchens. 80% of Gaza\u2019s population depends on food aid.<\/p>\n

The UNRWA said 3,000 aid trucks are waiting to enter Gaza\u2014but are blocked by the siege. One million Palestinian children depend on that aid. Their lives are now in danger.<\/p>\n

By early April, all bakeries in Gaza closed their doors as flour and fuel from the WFP ran out due to the total Israeli blockade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
