There is extremely limited food availability in Gaza as of September 2025. A famine is confirmed in Gaza Governorate with catastrophic levels of food insecurity affecting over 640,000 people and widespread starvation and acute malnutrition impacting many more. Food deliveries have been severely disrupted and insufficient, and humanitarian aid reaches only a fraction of those in need. While markets and some shops may appear stocked, food is largely unaffordable and inaccessible to most due to extreme scarcity, high prices, and a severe cash crisis. Many households face days without eating, and starvation-related deaths, including malnutrition-related child fatalities, have been documented. Overall, the food situation is dire and life-threatening for the majority of Gaza's population.
