ROME, November 29, 2024 (WAFA) – The World Food Programme (WFP) said today that all bakeries in the central Gaza Strip have been forced to close due to a severe shortage of supplies.

In a statement on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, the WFP said bread, which had often been the only food source for many families in Gaza, is now out of reach for residents. The organization warned that this critical shortage is exacerbating the already dire humanitarian crisis in the region.

The WFP urgently called for the safe and unhindered delivery of vital humanitarian aid to Gaza, stressing the importance of ensuring access to essential supplies for the struggling population.
