People in Gaza have to queue for long hours at bakeries “where they are exposed to airstrikes”, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Human Affairs has said.
In an update, it said that “distribution of food assistance to IDPs in Gaza city and northern Gaza was almost completely halted for the past few days”, adding that “some reports indicate that no bakery is currently operational in these areas”.
It further highlighted: “Access to bread in the south is also challenging. The only operative mill in Gaza remains unable to grind wheat due to a lack of electricity and fuel.”
