WFP: Gaza Strip still on brink of famine

Sharjah 24 – WAM: The World Food Programme (WFP) issued a stark warning on Sunday, stating that Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip remain on the edge of famine, as humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate.

Urgent call for daily aid access

In a post on its official X account, WFP stressed the critical need for a continuous and daily flow of aid trucks into Gaza. The region has been suffering from a deepening humanitarian crisis since Israel closed its border crossings on March 2.

Aid delivery alone not enough

WFP emphasized that simply allowing aid into Gaza is only the first step. The programme highlighted the importance of having the capacity to transport and distribute food within the territory safely and without delays.

Humanitarian crisis worsens

Reiterating the urgency, WFP stated that families in Gaza are still facing famine conditions and called for immediate, sustained action to ensure food and aid reach those in need.
