Food aid in Gaza is being seized and resold by gangs and merchants amid a breakdown in security caused by Israel's ongoing military offensive. Prices for basic staples like flour and lentils have soared beyond the reach of most residents, while aid marked for free distribution is openly sold in markets. Attempts to deliver humanitarian assistance are frequently met with violence, chaos, and deadly confrontations, leaving many of the most vulnerable without access to food. International organizations and local groups say only a ceasefire and restoration of order can ensure safe and equitable distribution of aid, as famine looms and malnutrition rates climb.
