U.N. agency closes the rest of its Gaza bakeries as food supplies dwindle under Israeli blockade

The U.N. Food agency closed all of its Gaza bakeries because supplies dwindled, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
Israel sealed off Gaza from aid, demanding Hamas release hostages before allowing entry of goods and supplies.
Israel resumed its offensive, including bombardments and troop deployments, after a ceasefire, aiming to pressure Hamas.
COGAT reported 25,200 trucks with nearly 450,000 tons of aid entered Gaza during the truce, but the UN refuted claims of sufficient food.
The U.N. Spokesperson called Israel's claim of enough food 'ridiculous' amid critical shortages, forcing bakery closures and widespread displacement.
