What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

A Geneva-based human rights group warned that Israeli restrictions on incoming goods could lead to another famine in Gaza City. Field teams observed increasingly empty markets and soaring food prices due to these restrictions. After commercial deliveries were suspended on October 13, 2026, the group reported that shipments remained heavily restricted, denying fresh fruits and vegetables entry. Shortages of staples like flour are threatening bread production, causing several bakeries to stop operating.
