Gaza Faces Hunger Crisis
Gaza’s residents are facing a food crisis that goes beyond a shortage of flour. The supply shortfall exceeds 25% of estimated daily needs of around 450 tonnes, amid restrictions at crossing points, shortages of fuel and spare parts, and declining purchasing power. The World Food Programme has reduced its assistance from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million, while the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) projects that more than 1.4 million Palestinians—67% of the population—will face acute food insecurity in the second half of 2026. The crisis is compounded by the vulnerability of local production: only 3% of cultivated land remains intact and available. And even if bread production continues, that does not guarantee that everyone can access bread or that families can afford to buy it. Addressing the crisis requires a steady flow of food and flour through the crossings, the provision of fuel and bakery operating supplies, the restoration of aid and agricultural production, and support for families.
