The association confirmed that the World Food Programme, which had been supporting several bakeries, informed them that flour distribution had been halted as warehouse stocks were completely depleted— a direct result of the occupation’s blockade and the closure of all border crossings.
Meanwhile, the Government Media Office in Gaza condemned "Israel’s" ongoing obstruction of humanitarian aid and fuel deliveries, warning that the closure of all bakeries has further deepened the worsening famine crisis in the Strip.
The images emerging from Gaza are haunting.

In a statement it said, "The Israeli occupation has committed a new crime against more than 2.4 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by completely preventing the entry of flour, humanitarian aid, and fuel for an entire month, which has led to the complete shutdown of all bakeries and deepened the famine crisis that threatens the lives of civilians."
