Despair develops in Gaza while UN bakeries have bakeries

Bilal Mohammad Ramadan Abukresh lost his house, his work, his wife and his seven other parents during the war in Gaza. Now, while the United Nations firmly 25 bakeries across the territory, it also loses its only reliable source of food.

Before Wednesday, Mr. Abukresh, 40, said that he would leave his tent in a camp for people displaced in the north of Gaza at dawn and tail for hours in one of the bakeries, while waiting for bread for his four children.

“The line was unimaginable, like the day of judgment,” said Abukresh on Wednesday, the day after the World Food Program, a United Nations agency, said that it was short of flour and fuel necessary to keep bakeries in open Gaza.

But at least it was affordable, compared to the $ 30 he paid for a bag of pasta that he recently bought to feed his family.

The absence of humanitarian aid deliveries in Gaza in the last month caused violent competition for food and increased prices.

Mr. Abukresh said he had recourse to the sale of jewelry for his children and to collect waste to sell to collect enough money just to buy a little food. “To get a bag of bread for my children, I risk death a hundred times,” he said.
