Gaza Faces Bread Shortage Crisis; 1,000 Tons of Flour Sent Daily
The Gaza Strip is experiencing a severe bread shortage crisis due to Israel's blockade and attacks, which have depleted flour stocks. Only 7 out of 20 bakeries are currently operating, and residents are waiting in long lines for bread. The Bakers' Authority confirms the entry of 1,000 tons of flour daily, with another 1,000 tons expected tomorrow, but warns that this is only enough to operate bakeries for one day. Egypt has sent over 280 trucks of aid, including flour and food parcels, to alleviate the crisis. The Crossings Authority reports that 248 trucks entered Gaza on Sunday, with 100 being aid trucks. The crisis requires continuous flour shipments to prevent the closure of remaining bakeries.7 sourcesSee all sources
