US EditionAid group shuts down its soup kitchens across Gaza
- The World Central Kitchen ceased serving free meals on Thursday after running out of ingredients in Gaza due to supply shortages.
- The shutdown followed a two-month Israeli blockade imposed in March that restricted humanitarian aid, causing most of Gaza’s 170 soup kitchens to run out of stock.
- The blockade aims to pressure Hamas after the October 7, 2023 attacks that killed 1,200 people and led to ongoing conflict, worsening food scarcity for Gaza’s 2.3 million residents.
- Amjad al-Shawa, PNGO director, said the closures reduce 400,000 to 500,000 free meals daily, with growing malnutrition and looting as communities lose their main food source.
- This crisis signals an urgent humanitarian emergency requiring the immediate flow of aid to prevent deaths among vulnerable groups amid extreme hunger and depleted food stocks.
