UN says its food stocks in Gaza completely ‘depleted’ amid Israeli blockade

The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that Gaza is facing its worst humanitarian crisis in years, as aid supplies dwindle amid an eight-week blockade imposed by Israel. With over 400,000 people depending on WFP meals daily, the organisation confirmed it had delivered its final food stocks to local kitchens last week, which are now expected to run out within days. Hunger and malnutrition have worsened, with prices for the little remaining food surging by 1,400 percent. The situation has exacerbated efforts to revive ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, as ongoing Israeli attacks kill civilians and displace hundreds of thousands.
