The UN World Food Programme announced it delivered its final food stocks to hot-meal kitchens in the Gaza Strip as a seven-week blockade by Israel prevents replenishing supplies. The UN OCHA assessed the situation as one of the worst in the past 18 months, exacerbated by ongoing military actions. With over 2,000 Palestinians reported dead recently and a surge in starvation threats due to the blockade, international officials have urged an end to the blockade amid warnings of impending famine and disease in the region.
The UN humanitarian agency OCHA described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as "probably the worst" since the Israeli military campaign against Hamas began 18 months ago.
The World Food Programme reported that its last food supplies were delivered to hot-meals kitchens in Gaza, which are expected to run out soon.
