Only seven of the 19 bakeries supported by humanitarian partners in Gaza remain operational, according to UN Secretary-General spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.
He attributed the closures to Israeli attacks and restrictions on essential supplies.
Dujarric highlighted the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, noting that four functioning bakeries are in Gaza City, two in Deir al-Balah, and one in Khan Yunis.
He emphasized that Israel’s blockade is preventing the delivery of necessary materials, leaving most bakeries unable to operate.
