WFP Warns of Humanitarian Crisis as Gaza Food Supplies Completely Depleted
The World Food Programme says over 400,000 people in Gaza face starvation as food stocks run out amid an ongoing Israeli blockade.
Summary
The World Food Programme (WFP) has confirmed the complete depletion of food stocks in Gaza due to an ongoing Israeli blockade, which has lasted nearly eight weeks. The WFP reported delivering its last supplies to local kitchens, which are expected to run out within days—impacting over 400,000 individuals reliant on this support. Prices for remaining food items have surged by 1,400%, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Reports indicate that hunger and malnutrition are widespread, with warnings that thousands of families could face starvation. Meanwhile, the blockade remains in effect despite international calls for humanitarian aid to be allowed into the region.
