Gaza bakery closes and pain relievers on classes a month after the Israeli siege

One month since Israel closed all crossings to Gaza for the goods, all unnecessary baked bakeries have closed, markets are empty of most fresh vegetables and hospitals cutting pain relievers and antibiotics.

It is the longest siege after the 18 -month Israel war against Hamas. This week, during the festive Eid Al -Fitr holiday, many gasmen say they are starved.

“This was the worst feast ever for us,” she told Umm Hamad, a displaced woman from Beit Lahia, BBC while she was searching for food in Gaza City. “We cannot eat or drink. We could not enjoy it. I have exhausted.”

“We can no longer find things that we eat like tomatoes, sugar or oil. They are not available. I can hardly find one meal a day. Now, there are no charitable dining leaflets.”

“I have only one grandson; he was born during the war. He is three months old and we cannot find milk or diapers for him.”

Israel said it imposed a ban on the goods entering Gaza on March 2 because Hamas refused to extend the first phase of the ceasefire deal in January and launch more hostages.

Hamas continued to demand the move to the second stage of the original agreement, which will witness the remaining living hostages that its launch and the full end of the war will witness.

A two -month truce, which began on January 19, witnessed the return of 33 Israeli hostages – eight of them dead – compared to about 1900 Palestinian prisoners and a significant increase in humanitarian aid that enters destroyed lands.

Relief agencies now call to force Israel to force Israel to allow basic commodities to enter Gaza – including food, medicine, hygiene and fuel products – pointing to the country’s obligations under international humanitarian law.

They say they are making difficult decisions on how to manage their disgraceful stocks in the region. Fuel, for example, is needed for vehicles to move aid, bakeries, hospital generators, wells and water desalination plants.

NGO Actionaid described the Israeli ban on a month on the entry of “horrific” “horrific” and warned of a “new cycle of hunger and thirst” looming on the horizon.

On Tuesday, the United Nations refused to be “ridiculous”, an Israeli assertion that there is enough food in Gaza to continue nearly two million people for a long time.

“We are at the end of the tail to our supplies,” said Stefan Dujarrik.

Kojat, the Israeli military body that controls the crossings, says that during a ceasefire recently, about 25,200 trucks in Gaza have entered nearly 450,000 tons of aid.

“This is nearly a third of the total trucks that entered Gaza during the entire war, within a little more than a month.

Israeli officials accuse Hamas of storage supplies for itself. However, Dujarrick said that the United Nations has kept “a very good chain of custody on all the aid that was delivered.”

Logs, ovens, and blank shelves in a bakery in Gaza City – one of 25 that worked with the United Nations World Foods Program (WFP) across the tape. With a lack of fuel and flour, a sign says it is closed “until another notice.”

“The closure of the bakery is a disaster because the bread is the primary element for us.”

“Without it, people do not know how to deal with the situation. There will be hunger much worse than we have seen before.”

He told him and other passers -by to the BBC that a 25 kg (55 -pound) flour bag rose up to 10 times and can now be brought in 500 shekels ($ 135; 104 pounds) on the black market.

For several months, Israel prevented commercial commodities from entering Gaza – saying that this trade benefited from Hamas – and the production of local food was completely suspended due to the war.

While many dining kitchens supported by international NGOs have recently stopped working as their supplies run out, the World Food Program expects to continue to distribute hot meals for a maximum of two weeks.

She says she will deliver the last food parcels within two days. As the “last resort” as soon as all other foods are exhausted, it contains emergency stocks of feeding food biscuits for 415,000 people.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNRWA), the largest relief agency working in Gaza, says it leaves only a few days of food.

“We see a quick depletion of what we have in our warehouses,” said Communications Director, Tamara Al -Rifai. “Everyone is legalizing everything because it is not clear if there is an end on the horizon and when there is an end on the horizon.”

“What is drawn to us is how quickly the positive effect of the ceasefire – if I can use the word” positive “, that is, the ability to bring food and other supplies – is the extent of evaporation of this effect in four weeks.”

Israel resumed the war in Gaza on March 18. Its air operations and renewable floor again made it difficult for relief workers to move and lead to hundreds of losses, overwhelming hospitals.

The United Nations World Health Organization (World Health Organization) says more than half of hospitals receiving trauma are now almost full.

The devices needed to fix the broken bones are exhausted, while anesthesia, antibiotics and fluids are diminished for patients with patients. The World Health Organization warns that the vital supplies of pregnant mothers will exclusively run out.

Dr. Mark Permottter, the American surgeon who was working recently in Gaza, told the BBC that he had to use the excavation parts to repair the fracture in the child’s leg. And that there was no X -ray camera in the two hospitals where it was headquartered.

He added that he was unable to clean the wounds before working or wash his hands as soap ran out.

Dr. Bermeter said that another event of collective victims means “people will die from the wounds that could have been corrected.”

Until now, at least 1066 Palestinians – about a third of them children – have been killed since Israel began its renewed military attack in Gaza, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health.

The World Health Organization also warns of serious public health concerns after it forced the facilities for diagnosing infectious diseases to close.

The International Health Charitable Foundation calls Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Israel to stop what it calls “the collective punishment for the Palestinians.”

She says that some patients are treated without relieving pain and that those who require regular medications, such as epilepsy or diabetes, need to legalize their supplies.

Last year, the International Court of Justice in Israel ordered “to take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of basic services that affect their need and humanitarian assistance to address the harmful conditions of the life faced by the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”

South Africa brought a continuous case before the United Nations Supreme Court, claiming that Israel was committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. Israel refuses to claim that it is “baseless.”

The war arose in Gaza due to the deadly attacks by Hamas on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and resulted in the transfer of 251 hostages to Gaza. Since then, more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed, the Palestinian health authorities say.

Arab mediators continue to try to revive the ceasefire.

Hamas said on Saturday that it had accepted a new proposal from Egypt. Israel said it made keeping pace with coordination with the United States, which was also mediating.

There were no signs of an imminent or ending penetration to close Israel from the crossings to Gaza.
