Gaza stands at the edge of catastrophe as the last reserves of flour dwindle, plunging its 2.3 million residents deeper into a man-made famine. With markets emptied weeks ago and household stocks rapidly disappearing, hunger has become the daily reality for most families trapped under Israel’s relentless siege.

Local officials report that more than 95% of flour supplies have already been consumed. Community kitchens, once a lifeline for displaced families, have shut down entirely. The Strip now braces for a phase of hunger far more devastating than any previously seen, with no aid in sight.

Since 2 March, Israeli forces have tightened their blockade on Gaza, cutting off all humanitarian aid and commercial access. This policy has turned food into a weapon of war, leaving international warnings unheeded as the risk of mass starvation grows by the hour.

What Gaza faces is not simply a crisis—it is a deliberate strangulation of civilian life. Without urgent international intervention, the world may soon witness the silent collapse of an entire population left to starve in the dark.
