JAKARTA - Roti is one of the staple foods of the Palestinian people, including in Gaza. Roti is becoming scarce in Palestine due to its very limited raw materials.
The UN aid agency for the Palestinian people, UNRWA, said the supply of wheat flour would be more than sufficient for the next six days.
"We can extend it, by measuring its gifts to people, but we are talking about days, not weeks," UNRWA representative Sam Rose said, speaking from Central Gaza to reporters in Geneva, Switzerland, Friday, March 21, quoted by Reuters.
Rose added that the current situation in Gaza is very concerning due to the delay in the distribution of basic material assistance and even being blocked has caused a food crisis.
"Six of the 25 bakeries supported by the World Food Program were forced to close. There were larger crowds on the streets outside the bakeries," he said.
This is the longest period since the start of the conflict in October 2023 where no supply has entered Gaza. The progress we have made as an aid system over the past six weeks the ceasefire is being canceled," Rose continued.

Israel in early March 2025 again blocked the entry of humanitarian aid into Palestine.
Israel deliberately prevented humanitarian aid from entering Gaza as a form of pressure against Hamas to approve the points of the United States-Israel proposal to extend the first phase of the ceasefire instead of starting negotiations to continue the second phase.
Israel's actions have resulted in an increase in the prices of staple food and fuel in Palestine, forcing many to limit the food consumed.
