Summary
Dozens of community kitchens in Gaza have closed due to a lack of supplies, exacerbating hunger for the 2.3 million population, as the US-based World Central Kitchen (WCK) announced it could no longer provide meals because of an Israeli blockade. Amjad Al-Shawa from the PNGO stated that this would lead to a loss of 400,000 to 500,000 free meals daily, while prices for essential food items have skyrocketed, leaving many families, like Huda Abu Diyya’s, desperate for sustenance. The UN reports over two million people face severe food shortages, with conditions deteriorating rapidly.
