‘On the verge of absolute famine’

The aid shortage is being exacerbated by the ongoing attacks, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza City, Gaza.

“People cannot reach whatever aid is left in warehouses in areas where the Israeli military is operating aggressively, and the food is going to waste,” he said.

Mahmoud refernced a statement from the United Nations on 3,000 trucks filled with much-needed aid and survival items stuck on the other side of the border.

“There are 1 million children relying on this aid — without it, we’re on the verge of absolute famine.”
