A shortage in flour and the closure of a main bakery in central Gaza have worsened the humanitarian crisis, as Palestinian families struggle to obtain enough food. Almost all of Gaza's population relies on international aid for survival, and malnutrition is widespread. Food security experts warn that famine may already be occurring in north Gaza. Aid groups accuse the Israeli military of hindering and blocking shipments in Gaza. Displaced families are left with few options, relying on charity and struggling to afford food.
