Israel's blockade on flour shipments has forced bakeries across Gaza to shut down, Middle East Eye reported. Palestinians queue for dwindling bread supplies as shortages intensify across the territory. The closures compound an escalating food crisis in the enclave.
Gaza authorities have warned of imminent famine and worsening food insecurity amid the restrictions on essential supplies. The blockade threatens to deepen humanitarian conditions already strained by months of conflict and siege.
