Gaza's blockade caused World Food Programme to exhaust supplies

nbcnews.com

The World Food Programme (WFP) has exhausted its food supplies in Gaza, 54 days after Israel imposed a complete blockade, leaving the population facing severe food insecurity. The UN agency delivered its last food stocks to hot meal kitchens, which are expected to run out soon. The blockade has prevented aid and commercial goods from entering Gaza, making WFP the primary food provider. With border crossings closed, over two million Gazans face starvation, disease, and death. International organizations and governments are urging Israel to allow humanitarian aid to enter the region.
