There are only two weeks’ worth of food supplies left in Gaza, according to an urgent warning from the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP). An already dire situation has been made worse by the humanitarian agency’s revelation that it has been unable to deliver fresh food shipments to the region for more than three weeks.
According to WFP officials, the risk of famine is increasing daily due to the ongoing hostilities and strict restrictions on aid deliveries. Millions of people are in need of essential supplies, but the blockade has made it difficult for families to obtain these things.
International aid organisations have demanded quick action to guarantee that food supplies start up again. To stop more suffering, the UN has called on world leaders to step in and create safe passageways for relief workers.
As tensions persist, WFP warns that without urgent intervention, Gaza’s food crisis could spiral into an unprecedented humanitarian disaster. Officials stress the need for a long-term solution to prevent further shortages.
