STORY: :: The UN relief agency in Gaza has only six days of flour left to distribute as aid supplies dwindle :: March 21, 2025:: Central Gaza:: Sam Rose, Senior Deputy Director UNRWA affairs in Gaza"The situation is gravely, gravely concerning. The bombardments that are across the Gaza strip have led to large-scale loss of life over the past four days, most of those deaths have occurred at night. The ministry of health here is reporting around 600 people killed, amongst those, around 200 women and children, so absolutely desperate tragedies that are occurring all over Gaza.""This all comes against the backdrop of no supplies coming into Gaza since the beginning of March, so for about 19 days. So this is the longest period since the start of the conflict back in October 2023 when no supplies whatsoever have entered Gaza. That's supplies of aid, commercial supplies, but also fuel, which keeps everything going here.""We've got about flour supplies left for another six or so days. We can stretch that by giving people less, and we always have to keep reserves in place for those families that are evacuated."Israel in early March blocked the entry of goods into the territory in a standoff over a truce that has halted fighting for the past seven weeks. The move has led to a hike in prices of essential foods as well as of fuel, forcing many to ration their meals.Less than half of Palestinian Red Crescent emergency vehicles are operating due to fuel shortages in Gaza. Of 53 vehicles in total, 23 remain operational after aid supplies into Gaza were halted, Tommaso Della Longa from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies told the briefing in Geneva.
