Gaza is grappling with catastrophic hunger and nearly half of the population is at a risk of famine, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) warned.
“People are hungry and just desperate for food,” Director of UNRWA Affairs in Gaza Thomas White said on X.
“40% of the population at risk of famine,” he added.
“More regular supplies needed. We require safe and sustainable humanitarian access everywhere, including to the North of Gaza,” White stressed.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza Strip in ruins, with 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure damaged or destroyed, and nearly 2 million residents displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine. (QNA)
