The World Food Program says all of its 25 bakeries in Gaza have shut down because they've run out of flour and fuel as a result of Israel's blockade. The UN Food Agency tells NPR it's also distributing its final food parcels to the neediest families and only has food supplies to last two more weeks to support charity kitchens that provide many with their only meal of the day.

Israel's military says there's plenty of food in Gaza. The government says the blockade is to pressure Hamas. Mona Dehlis, a mother standing outside one of the shuttered bakeries in Gaza, tells NPR she's searching for food to feed her three daughters. Her youngest is underweight. Dehlis says she can't afford the price of a large sack of flour, which has soared to $80.
