Unrwa: Six days of flour left for distribution in Gaza
One of the largest providers of food aid in Gaza warned on Friday that it has only enough flour left to last six more days.
"We can stretch that by giving people less, but we are talking days - not weeks," said Sam Rose of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa), speaking from central Gaza during a press briefing in Geneva
Unrwa described the situation in Gaza as gravely concerning, pointing to massive reductions in the delivery of humanitarian supplies.
"Six of 25 bakeries that the World Food Programme were supporting had to close down. There are larger crowds on streets outside bakeries," Rose added.
"This is the longest period since the start of the conflict in October 2023 that no supplies whatsoever have entered Gaza. The progress we made as an aid system over the last six weeks of the ceasefire is being reversed," Rose added.
