FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) warned Thursday that food supplies in Gaza could run out within two weeks, putting hundreds of thousands at risk of starvation.
The WFP said renewed fighting between Israel and Hamas, following the collapse of a ceasefire, has severely disrupted food aid deliveries. “WFP and partners from the food security sector have not been able to transport new food supplies into Gaza for over three weeks,” the agency said in a statement.
The ongoing conflict has left humanitarian corridors closed, preventing the entry of essential goods. The WFP reported that its remaining food stocks in Gaza are rapidly depleting as the need for aid grows.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that at least 855 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since large-scale operations resumed on March 18.
