Gaza Blockade Creates Severe Food Crisis
Tap title to read story
A 60-day Israeli blockade has left Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians facing severe food shortages. Aid groups are depleted, markets are nearly empty, and families struggle to feed children. The diet consists mainly of canned goods, rice, and pasta, with meat, milk, and fresh produce unavailable. Doctors warn of rising malnutrition, particularly among children. Israel claims Gaza has sufficient aid, but aid workers dispute this, citing the blockade's impact and the potential for war crimes. Charity kitchens, a lifeline for many, are also facing closure due to dwindling supplies.
