Most Gaza residents waiting for a single bag of flour

May 26, 2025

Gaza [Israel], May 26: Gaza's Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Al Jazeera that the ongoing aid shortage is causing "gradual" death across the enclave.
Despite Israel easing its total blockade last week, most residents have yet to receive even a single bag of flour, Basal said. The lack of nutrition is putting children - especially premature infants - at increasing risk, he said.
He estimated 1,000 aid trucks per day are needed to meet the basic needs of the Palestinians in Gaza, far more than the roughly 300 trucks Israel claims have entered since the blockade was eased last week.
Basal called for a safe and reliable mechanism for aid deliveries, which he said should be managed by international humanitarian organisations. (Agencies)
