Palestine, Khan Younis, Gaza Strip, Sunday, 13 April, 2025

WFP and partners join efforts to provide sustenance through a hot meals kitchen in Mawasi, where displaced families are struggling to sustain themselves amid worsening conditions. The kitchen bakes bread for displaced families amid the absence of basic necessities. With all WFP-supported bakeries shut down and crossings closed, access to food has become severely limited. Families line up with empty pots, waiting to receive a hot meal, often the only food they will have that day. A displaced father with his family explains how he follows the kitchen's relocation after every evacuation; he depends on the kitchen to feed his eight children. "This is breakfast and lunch together," he says, emphasising the growing desperation as food prices skyrocket and market shelves remain empty.
