Nearly one in every three people in Gaza is going days without anything to eat, the World Food Programme has warned, with thousands on the brink of catastrophic levels of hunger, Al Jazeera reports.

The agency said food aid is the only way many can access meals and reiterated its call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, along with safe and unhindered humanitarian access to those in need.

Dozens of Palestinians, mostly children, have lost their lives due to hunger and malnutrition in recent days, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
