The Gaza population as a whole is enduring a crisis of hunger

Can people in Gaza access food locally?

Fighting across the Gaza Strip, and especially in the northern governorates, has particularly made it difficult to access food and aid. Local farmlands, flour mills, bakeries and warehouses have also been directly damaged by Israeli bombardments.

Only a month after fighting broke out, all of northern Gaza’s bakeries closed due to lack of supplies such as flour and fuel, the UN reported on November 8. Risks of being hit by Israeli strikes also resulted in movement restrictions for those seeking to leave their homes for food.
