## Prediction

Within 24 hours, humanitarian agencies will report rapidly deteriorating food security indicators in Gaza as Israel’s halt of all aid crossings interrupts critical supplies. Existing stocks will begin to run out in the most vulnerable districts, driving up prices, triggering panic buying, and increasing the risk of malnutrition for children and the ill. The move will also constrain medical operations that depend on accompanying logistics chains. Confirmation would be WFP/UNRWA alerts, images of empty markets, and local reports of rationing or protests over food scarcity.

## Drivers

- Confirmed Israeli suspension of all humanitarian aid into Gaza
- Gaza’s dependence on external food aid and minimal local production capacity
- Previous rapid deterioration during past crossing closures
