Bilal Mohammad Ramadan AbuKresh has faced devastating losses in Gaza, including his home and family members due to the ongoing war. With the United Nations closing bakeries, he is losing his last reliable food source. He stands in long lines for bread, comparing the experience to apocalyptic scenes. As supplies shrink and prices soar due to a halt in humanitarian aid, he resorts to selling personal belongings to afford food. His struggles highlight the severe impact of the conflict on daily survival and the dire conditions faced by those displaced.
Now, as the United Nations closes 25 bakeries across the territory, he is also losing his only reliable source of food.
The line was unimaginable, like the Day of Judgment, Mr. AbuKresh said on Wednesday, the day after the World Food Program, a U.N. agency, said it had run out of the flour and fuel needed to keep the bakeries in Gaza open.
To secure a bag of bread for my children, I risk death a hundred times, he said.
The lack of humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza over the past month has prompted violent competition for food and driven up prices.
