Gaza Herald_ The Government Media Office in Gaza has issued a dire warning, saying the territory urgently needs no less than 500,000 bags of flour every week to avert a full-scale humanitarian collapse. The ongoing Israeli blockade has created catastrophic shortages of basic goods, particularly food staples, leaving the population on the brink of famine.
According to the Media Office, over 115 people have died due to famine and severe malnutrition, a toll that continues to rise as hospitals, already overwhelmed and under-resourced, struggle to treat patients in worsening conditions.
In its statement, published on Telegram, the Media Office condemned what it called the spread of false narratives suggesting that large quantities of aid are reaching the enclave. It strongly rejected reports claiming that hundreds of aid trucks are entering Gaza regularly, describing such claims as entirely false and dangerously aligned with the misleading narrative promoted by the Israeli occupation. The statement accused these claims of distorting the truth and covering up the reality of an unfolding humanitarian crime.
Officials called on the international community to act urgently and without delay, demanding that all countries work to break the siege, reopen the border crossings permanently, and allow the immediate entry of humanitarian supplies, including baby formula and essential food items, for the more than 2.4 million Palestinians currently trapped in Gaza.
Without these vital supplies, the Media Office warned, the people of Gaza are facing a complete humanitarian collapse.
Gaza is experiencing the worst food crisis in modern history, with nearly the entire population 2.1 million people suffering from severe food insecurity, and 470,000 facing catastrophic hunger conditions.
Children under the age of five are particularly affected, with thousands admitted to Gaza’s hospitals due to acute malnutrition, which has surged at an alarming rate since March. Hundreds of hunger-related deaths recorded by mid-2025 reflect a tragic reality, as the population endures endless food lines, skyrocketing prices, and a collapsed healthcare system.
