Bakery reopening in Gaza prompts long line for bread
STORY: People waited in lines and crowds in front of “Kamel Ajour Bakery”, one of the first bakeries to resume work in the northern Gaza strip.
“It’s a good thing to eat bread. We have suffered a lot when we bought one kilogram of flour for 90 or 100 shekels ($23.8-26.5). That is insane, people don’t have money, people are broke,” said Palestinian, Abo Belal Abo Jabal, who purchased one bag of bread.
Most Israeli troops have been pulled out of the Palestinian enclave in preparation for an assault on its southernmost city Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians are sheltering, but fighting has continued in various areas.
Six months into Israel's air and ground campaign in Gaza, triggered by Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel, the devastated Palestinian enclave faces famine and widespread disease with nearly all its inhabitants now homeless.
