World Food Programme (WFP) head Cindy McCain has said that the aid currently entering Gaza is “nowhere near” enough to meet the needs of people there, which she added were growing exponentially, Reuters reports.

“We need to continue to work together to get safe and sustained access to Gaza at a scale that aligns with the catastrophic conditions facing families there,” McCain said in a statement after visiting the Rafah border crossing through which aid trucks have been entering Gaza.
