Palestinians have warned of an imminent famine in the northern Gaza Strip as an ongoing Israeli blockade has forced five out of six functioning bakeries to shut down in the region, Anadolu news agency reported.

“Five out of six bakeries in northern Gaza have shut down due to Israel’s blockade on the entry of fuel and raw materials needed to produce bread,” Kamel Ajjour, a baker owner, told Anadolu on Sunday. Ajjour emphasized that fuel has not been delivered to bakeries in northern Gaza for over 10 days.

“The supply of critical ingredients such as flour, sugar, and yeast has been significantly reduced for nearly a month,” he said, warning of a severe bread crisis if his bakery also halted operations in northern Gaza.
