The World
Food Program said
its food stocks in the Gaza Strip have run out under Israel's nearly
eight-week-old blockade, ending a main source of sustenance for hundreds of
thousands of Palestinians
in the territory.
The WFP
said in a statement that it delivered the last of its stocks to charity
kitchens that it supports around Gaza. It said those kitchens are expected to
run out of food in the coming days.
Some
80% of Gaza's population of more than 2 million relies primarily on charity
kitchens for food, because other sources have shut down under Israel's
blockade, according to the U.N. The
WFP has been supporting 47 kitchens that distribute 644,000 hot meals a day,
WFP spokesperson Abeer Etefa told The Associated Press.
It was
not immediately clear how many kitchens would still be operating in Gaza if
those shut down. But Etefa said the WFP-backed kitchens are the major ones in
Gaza.
Israel
cut off entry of all food, fuel, medicine and other supplies to Gaza on March 2
and then resumed its bombardment and ground offensives two weeks later,
shattering a two-month ceasefire with Hamas. It says the moves aim to pressure
Hamas to release hostages it still holds. Rights groups have called the
blockade a "starvation tactic" and a potential war crime.
COGAT,
the Israeli military agency in charge of coordinating aid in Gaza, declined to
comment on the amount of supplies remaining in the territory. It has previously
said Gaza had enough aid after a surge in distribution during the ceasefire.
Israel accuses Hamas of diverting aid for its purposes.
Humanitarian
workers deny there is significant diversion, saying the U.N. strictly monitors
distribution. They say the aid flow during the ceasefire was barely enough to
cover the immense needs from throughout the war when only a trickle of supplies
got in.
With no
new goods entering Gaza, many foods have disappeared from markets, including
meat, eggs, fruits, dairy products and many vegetables. Prices for what remains
have risen dramatically, becoming unaffordable for much of the population. Most
families rely heavily on canned goods.
Malnutrition
is already surging. The U.N. said it identified 3,700 children suffering from
acute malnutrition in March, up 80% from the month before. At the same time,
because of diminishing supplies, aid groups were only able to provide
nutritional supplements to some 22,000 children in March, down 70% from
February. The supplements are a crucial tool for averting malnutrition.
Almost
all bakeries shut down weeks ago and the WFP stopped distribution of food
basics to families for lack of supplies. With stocks of most ingredients
depleted, charity kitchens generally can only serve meals of pasta or rice with
little added.
World
Central Kitchen — a U.S. charity that is one of the biggest in Gaza that
doesn't rely on the WFP — said Thursday that its kitchens had run out of
proteins. Instead, they make stews from canned vegetables. Because fuel is
scarce, it dismantles wooden shipping pallets to burn in its stoves, it said.
It also runs the only bakery still functioning in Gaza, producing 87,000 loaves
of pita a day.
The WFP
said 116,000 tons of food is ready to be brought into Gaza if Israel opens the
borders, enough to feed 1 million people for four months.
Israel
has leveled much of Gaza with its air and ground campaign, vowing to destroy
Hamas after its Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel. It has killed over
51,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's Health
Ministry, whose count does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
In the
Oct. 7 attack, militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and
abducted 251. They still hold 59 hostages after most were released in ceasefire
deals.
