A single flour mill in the enclave is still operating amid security concerns and the unavailability of fuel.
Only five out of 23 bakeries contracted by the World Food Programme in Gaza are currently still in operation.
“The situation in Gaza is getting worse by the minute; the humanitarian situation but also, of course, the food security situation,” WFP’s Middle East spokesman Abeer Etefa, told reporters at the UN in Geneva via videolink from Cairo. Gaza-based Hamas fighters broke through Israel’s heavily fortified border on Oct 7, killing more than 1,400 people, most of them civilians. Israel says at least 199 hostages were taken by Hamas or other groups during the raid.
Etefa said that out of five flour mills in the Gaza Strip, only one was operating due to security concerns and the unavailability of fuel.Only five bakeries out of 23 in Gaza contracted by WFP were still in operation, she added.The spokesman said there has been no looting of WFP warehouses, and “anyway, whatever we have left in the warehouses is so little”.
