World Food Programme says civilians in Gaza are facing ‘immediate possibility of starvation’
The United Nations said there would be no cross-border aid operation on Friday due to fuel shortages and a communication shutdown.
For a second consecutive day on Thursday no aid trucks arrived in Gaza due to lack of fuel for distributing relief.
WFP executive director Cindy McCain said nearly the entire population was in desperate need of food assistance.
“Supplies of food and water are practically non-existent in Gaza and only a fraction of what is needed is arriving through the borders,” she said in a statement.
“With winter fast approaching, unsafe and overcrowded shelters, and the lack of clean water, civilians are facing the immediate possibility of starvation,” Ms McCain said.
Humanitarian agencies have continued to issue dire warnings about the harm Israel’s offensive in Gaza is causing to civilians.
The WFP said the Gaza Strip faced widespread hunger, with supplies of food and water almost exhausted.
