The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) alerted yesterday on Thursday, November 16 on the “immediate risk of famine” in Gaza, where food and water are “almost nonexistent”.
“There is no way to meet current food needs with a single operational border crossing point. The only hope is to open another safe passage to allow humanitarian access and the supply of food that will save lives in Gaza, “said the Executive Director of the UN Agency based in Rome, Cindy McCain, in a statement.
“Even if trucks arrived from Egypt and were able to unload their cargo in Gaza on Tuesday, the food did not reach civilians in shelters because of the insufficient quantity of fuel available for distribution vehicles. He said again.
“With the winter that is fast approaching, precarious and overcrowded shelters, as well as the lack of drinking water, civilians are faced with an immediate risk of famine,” she concludes.
