The World Food Program (WFP) confirmed that all its supported bakeries in southern #Gaza will close starting Tuesday due to the depletion of available flour.
The #WFP stated that humanitarian aid has not entered Gaza since March 2, leading to a critical shortage of flour and other essential materials.
The program previously distributed over 306,000 kilograms of wheat flour daily to run bakeries across the region, along with yeast, sugar, and salt.

WFP to run out of food in Gaza in 10 days

The UN World Food Programme says its remaining food stock in Gaza could be depleted in about 10 days, leaving hundreds of thousands without meals.

The WFP said its flour supply in Gaza – where Israel has blocked aid from entering for over four weeks – can sustain bakeries serving 800,000 people only until Tuesday. Without restocking, overall food supplies could be exhausted within 10 days.

„[A]n Israeli strike hit the international airport in Sanaa just as World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was about to board a flight there. The attack killed at least three people at the airport, according to local media, and injured a World Food Program-contracted aircrew member among dozens of others.“

“One of the biggest challenges the World Food Programme is facing is over the last three months, we’ve been without capacity to provide assistance to 1.1 million people.”

“We’ve been facing clear shortages of the assistance we’re supposed to provide … In November, we’ve only been able to reach 815,000 people. The vast majority of these have received only one-third of the rations they’re supposed to receive.”

'Dying of thirst' as climate-driven floods mix with oil

Maura Ajak & Stephanie Stafford

"Herders scooping murky water from a small pond in grasslands in South Sudan are well aware of the dangers they face if they drink it.

"'The water is dirty because this place has oil - it has chemicals in it,' says their chief, Chilhok Puot.

"Nyatabah, a woman from this community raising cows in the heart of oil fields in Unity State, adds: 'If you drink it, it makes you pant and cough.

"'We know it's bad water, but we don't have anywhere else, we're dying of thirst.'

"A former oil engineer, David Bojo Leju, has told the BBC World service that flooding in the area is washing #pollution into water sources.

"Large swathes of the state have been under water for several years after unprecedented #flooding, which scientists say has been worsened by #ClimateChange.

"Mr Bojo Leju says the floods are a 'disaster' and that pollution from mismanaged oil facilities is a 'silent killer' spreading across the state.

"South Sudan is the world’s youngest country and one of its poorest, with a government hugely dependent on oil revenue.

"Unity State, a major oil-producing state, has always experienced seasonal flooding. But in 2019, #ExtremeRains brought a deluge that engulfed #villages, #grasslands and #forests. Year after year of intense rainfall followed. The water built up, trapped on the clay soil.

"At the worst point in 2022, two-thirds of Unity State were submerged, according to the UN World Food Programme (#WFP) - even now, it says about 40% is still under water."
