Shafaqna English- The World Food Programme (WFP) says its food stocks in Gaza have run out.
On Friday (25 Apr 2025) WFP announced it had delivered its last remaining supplies to kitchens preparing hot meals which are expected to be completely gone within days.
The UN’s agency warned that it may be forced to end critical assistance to families unless urgent action is taken.
“The situation inside the Gaza Strip has once again reached a breaking point: people are running out of ways to cope, and the fragile gains made during the short ceasefire have unravelled,” it said.
The kitchens have been the only consistent source of food assistance in Gaza for weeks, representing a critical lifeline even though they reached just half the population with only a quarter of their daily food needs.
WFP also supported 25 bakeries which all fully closed on 31 March as wheat flour and cooking fuel ran out. Furthermore, food parcels distributed to families – containing two weeks of rations – were exhausted that same week.
“WFP urges all parties to prioritize the needs of civilians and allow aid to enter Gaza immediately and uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law,” the agency said.
