Gaza Faces Catastrophic Food Shortages Amidst Ongoing Conflict, UN Warns
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated considerably, with critical shortages of basic supplies impacting the population more severely than before the current conflict began. United Nations Secretary General António Guterres highlighted the dire circumstances this week, noting widespread scarcity of essential goods and a dramatic increase in malnutrition.
The UN’s food aid program has issued a stark warning: nearly one-third of gaza’s residents are experiencing days without any food. The World food Programme (WFP) reported on Friday that malnutrition is “surging,” with an estimated 90,000 women and children requiring immediate treatment for the condition.
