World Central Kitchen closes soup kitchens across Gaza due to dwindling supplies
Briefly

The ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid in Gaza has forced World Central Kitchen to shut down its operations, leaving 133,000 meals per day unserved as food supplies run low. With the blockade entering its third month amidst escalating military actions, malnutrition rates are rising sharply. The World Food Program reported a complete depletion of food stocks, while UNICEF noted extensive damage to water systems, threatening access to clean water. Community kitchens are becoming essential, yet many have closed due to shortages, prompting urgent calls from rights groups about the dire humanitarian impact of the blockade.
Israel's ongoing blockade of humanitarian assistance has forced food aid organizations to close operations, leaving Gaza's population increasingly vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition.
UN agencies highlight that most of Gaza's water infrastructure is severely damaged, and fuel shortages are hampering access to clean water and food supplies.
