A source in the World Food Program revealed that Israel restricts the work of bakeries in Gaza and allows only a few of them, as well as restricting the supply of flour and fuel, which exacerbates the suffering of the population.

An official with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said a convoy of 109 aid trucks was looted and violently marred by violence on Saturday, leaving 98 missing.
The source in the World Food Program said that Israel refuses to allow the operation of other bakeries in Gaza City because of the pressure generated by the displacement of thousands from northern Gaza, noting that the organization sent a request to Israel about a month ago to operate 20 bakeries ready to work in Gaza, but the request was rejected.

A few days ago, the program confirmed that the markets of the Gaza Strip have reached a dire state, and that prices have reached record levels due to the blockade applied and the ongoing Israeli aggression since the seventh of October 2023. “Fresh food, eggs and meat are barely available, and prices have reached record levels,” he said.
