The UN World Food Programme has run out of food in Gaza after seven weeks of blocked aid. Its last stocks were delivered to community kitchens, expected to shut down within days, UN News reported.

All 25 WFP-supported bakeries closed in March due to a lack of wheat and fuel, and food packs were insufficient. The United Nations warns that malnutrition is progressively worsening.

Israel claims to be following international law after suspending supplies on March 2 and resuming military operations in mid-March, as stated by UN News.

The UN insists Israel is responsible for ensuring basic supplies for Gaza’s 2.1m residents.
