The ongoing conflict in Gaza has triggered a severe food crisis, with basic supplies like flour running low. Displaced Palestinians are struggling to secure food as prices soar and food distribution networks collapse, intensifying the already dire humanitarian situation.
The Israeli military has blocked flour shipments, and international organizations have suspended distribution, leading to panic buying and soaring prices across the region.
With food resources becoming increasingly scarce and many unable to prepare meals at home, violent incidents have broken out. On November 29, a tragic stampede occurred in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, when a large crowd rushed to buy crackers. The chaos resulted in the deaths of two women and a child, highlighting the desperate situation faced by many.
In Khan Younis, southern Gaza, people, including 70-year-old displaced Palestinian Nabil Bassiouni, have waited for hours at food shops but were unable to buy any crackers. Bassiouni expressed his frustration, saying, "I have been standing here for more than three hours, but I still haven't bought anything. I can only go back to my children with nothing."
The shortage has forced many food stalls in southern Gaza to close, and prices have surged dramatically, with crackers now costing nearly 32 times more than before the recent conflict. Mohammad Assar, another displaced Palestinian, shared his experience, explaining, "I came here at 7:00 a.m. just to get a kilo of crackers, but for a family of eight to 10, one kilo is barely enough." The crisis is leaving many families struggling to secure enough food for survival.
