ISRAEL’S ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza has forced World Central Kitchen to shut down its community kitchens, the organisation announced today, saying that warehouses are empty, and it has no way to replenish supplies.

The kitchens had been serving 133,000 meals daily and baking 80,000 loaves of bread in Gaza, but the group said it has now run out of food in the devastated Palestinian territory. 

“There is no flour left in our mobile bakery,” the organisation confirmed.
