Gaza Facing Famine If Fighting Continues, UN Says

The United Nations says Gaza is at risk of famine if the war between Israel and Hamas continues.

A quarter of households – roughly 500,000 people – are facing “catastrophic conditions”, a UN food security agency found.

It says the territory’s entire population of roughly 2.2m people is suffering acute food shortages.

“No-one in Gaza is safe from starvation,” said Cindy McCain from the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP).

“Humanitarian access is needed now for supplies to flow into and throughout Gaza and for civilians to safely receive life-saving aid”.
