The Food Program warns of catastrophic levels of hunger in southern Gaza

Gaza – Together – The United Nations World Food Program warned that the continuation of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip makes it impossible to deliver food aid in the Strip.

The program expressed its fear that southern Gaza would soon witness the same catastrophic levels of hunger that were previously recorded in the northern regions, noting that with the escalation of fighting in southern and central Gaza, the losses among civilians are devastating.

The program stressed the need for continued improvement and expansion of aid delivery in the north to ensure food supplies, adding that access to clean water, health care, fuel for bakeries and medical supplies is also essential to achieving stable food security.
