The United Nations World Food Programme has said the situation in the Gaza Strip is worsening by the minute with only four or five days of food stocks left in the shops, according to Reuters.
The statement comes amid a deepening humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave of 2.3 million people, where Israel prepares to escalate an offensive after a surprise attack by Hamas on Oct 7.
Gaza authorities say more than 2,800 people have been killed in Israeli bombing, around a quarter of them children, and nearly 11,000 wounded are in hospitals desperately short of supplies.
