All bakeries forced to close in Gaza due to lack of flour and fuel

All bakeries in Gaza have been forced to close down due to Israel’s blockade on food and essentials.

“Bakeries will no longer operate until the [Israeli] occupation opens the crossings and allows the necessary supplies to enter.”

The WFP supports the running of 18 bakeries in the enclave. Their closures will worsen a starvation and malnutrition crisis that has devastated Gaza’s two million residents.
