Dozens of charitable meals providing food to hundreds of thousands of displaced people in southern and northern Gaza have stopped working, following Israel’s restrictions on the entry of goods and aid to the population, as part of its starvation policy imposed on Gazans, in addition to allowing bandits to steal aid trucks, which caused a real famine in the Strip.

The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza worsened after the Israeli occupation invaded the city of Rafah on 5 May, and the closure of the Rafah and Kerem Shalom commercial crossings with Gaza, where the entry of aid and medical equipment has been prevented since the closure of the crossings.

Markets in various areas of the Gaza Strip have been witnessing a severe shortage of goods and merchandise since the beginning of last October, when the occupation began closing the crossings with Gaza under the pretext of Jewish holidays.

This led to the closure of a large number of vehicles and the cessation of their work in preparing and distributing food to the displaced, causing famine among the displaced.
