The Gaza Strip is facing a severe food crisis that is worsening by the day, with the threat of famine threatening the lives of thousands of families as Israel resumes its war on the Gaza Strip following the ceasefire agreement signed on January 17, 2025.
UN reports indicate that poverty and food insecurity rates in the Gaza Strip have reached unprecedented levels, with warnings of an impending humanitarian disaster.
Relief officials reported that food supplies in Gaza are dangerously dwindling due to the closure of crossings for more than three weeks, coupled with rising prices for basic goods, leaving many families unable to meet their daily needs.
In a conversation with one citizen, he confirmed that obtaining food has become a major challenge, as prices of basic commodities have skyrocketed, while the purchasing power of the population has declined due to unemployment and the loss of income.
For its part, the World Food Programme warned that the situation in Gaza is approaching a breaking point, noting that increasing numbers of residents are now relying on humanitarian aid to meet their food needs, while relief organizations are facing significant difficulties in delivering support to those affected.
