**GAZA CITY** – The United Nations has sharply criticized Israel’s claim that Gaza possesses sufficient food supplies, labeling the assertion “ridiculous.” This condemnation follows the closure of all 25 UN-run bakeries in the besieged enclave due to a month-long Israeli blockade restricting the flow of essential goods. The UN’s statement highlights the severe impact of the blockade on Gaza’s already vulnerable population, with the shuttering of the bakeries representing a significant blow to food security. The ongoing situation underscores growing concerns over a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
