Deir el-Balah, Gaza – For more than two weeks now, Israel has blocked nearly all food aid from entering northern Gaza, leaving some 400,000 Palestinians living there facing starvation, according to UN estimates.
Israeli attacks and forced evacuation orders have closed food distribution points, kitchens and bakeries. The only functioning bakery in north Gaza, supported by the World Food Programme (WFP), caught fire after Israel struck it with munitions.
Across the Gaza Strip, at least 2.15 million people, or 96 percent of the population, are facing high levels of food shortages, with one in five people facing starvation.
