The World Food Programme (WFP) says despite its teams “doing everything” to deliver food assistance in Gaza, current supplies only meet 47 per cent of the intended target, Al Jazeera reports.
According to the UN agency, around 500,000 people are now on the “brink of famine”, and only a ceasefire would allow food assistance to be scaled up to the required levels.
“Organised distributions, and WFP-supported hot meals & bakeries can’t restart without far more aid,” it said in a post on X.
