Bakery lines have become sites of desperation and overcrowding as Palestinians in Gaza fight to find food for themselves and their family.
Three Palestinians, including two children and a woman, were crushed to death on Friday while in line at a bakery in central Gaza amid a worsening food crisis in the enclave, according to Palestinian hospital officials. One of the victims’ father, Osama Abu Al-Laban, told CNN he gave his 17-year-old daughter money to buy a loaf of bread with her sister before she got swept up while waiting in the women’s queue. “Where did she go? How did she get in? How did she leave? I don’t know.
” Soon after the crush, the World Food Programme said Friday that all bakeries in central Gaza have shut down due to severe supply shortages. The WFP said that bread was often the only food families in Gaza could access – and “now, even that is slipping out of reach.” “The suffering here is unimaginable. I’ve been standing for four hours trying to get a single loaf of bread.
