Gaza Faces Imminent Famine Risk Amid Severe Aid Restrictions

The World Food Programme warns that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is escalating due to restricted aid access and ongoing military operations.

  • The U.N. World Food Programme has called for urgent action to prevent famine in the Gaza Strip, highlighting severe restrictions on aid flows.
  • Israeli military control over entry points, including the Rafah crossing, is significantly limiting the delivery of essential food supplies.
  • Approximately 94,000 tonnes of food ready in Egypt and Jordan cannot be delivered due to safety and logistical barriers.
  • Only 5,000 tonnes of aid have entered Gaza this month, far below the needs of the population facing emergency hunger levels.
  • Approval processes for trucks and drivers, along with checkpoint delays, are additional hurdles to improving aid distribution in Gaza.
