Ten of the 17 bakeries in Gaza were closed after running out of industrial flour. And Israel blocked supplies for more than 10 days, which raises the fear of closing more bakeries and the bread lines will return. At the same time, the World Food Program reduced the number of monthly aid recipients from 1.6 million to 1.1 million, cut food rations in half and reduced the number of hot meals per day from 250,000 to 150,000. About 1.4 million people face critical levels of food insecurity, while on average only 200 trucks enter the enclave daily, a third of the 600 requested under the ceasefire agreement. Most of the sector's population, who live in tents, rely on basic foods including rice, lentils and flour to feed their families. However, as humanitarian aid dwindles, even these limited needs are becoming increasingly difficult to meet.
