STORYLINE:
Two children and a 50-year-old woman were crushed to death Friday as a crowd of Palestinians pushed to get bread at a bakery in the central Gaza town of Deir al-Balah, medical officials said.
The flow of food allowed into Gaza by Israel has fallen to nearly its lowest level of the entire 13-month-old war for the past two months, according to Israeli official figures.
U.N. and aid officials say hunger and desperation are growing among Gaza’s population, almost all of which relies on humanitarian aid to survive.
A doctor at Al-Aqsa Hospital confirmed that the three died from suffocation due to crowding at the al-Banna bakery in Deir al-Balah.
"They stayed four days without food," cried one relative mourning her loved one.
Some bakeries in Gaza were closed for several days last week due to a shortage of flour.
Since they reopened, large crowds of people have been gathering to try and source a meal.
Palestinians across the Gaza Strip are heavily relying on bakeries and charitable kitchens, with many able to only secure one meal a day for their families.
