CNN - Nearly two months after Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid, the World Food Programme in Gaza has run out of food.
The UN agency delivered its final food stocks to charity kitchens
throughout the besieged enclave on Friday and those supplies are only
expected to last for a few days. “For weeks, hot meal kitchens have been
the only consistent source of food assistance for people in Gaza,” the
WFP said in a statement. “Despite reaching just half the population with
only 25% of daily food needs, they have provided a critical lifeline.”
Israel cut off food, medical supplies and other aid
on March 2 in an effort to pressure Hamas to accept a US-backed
ceasefire proposal. Hamas has refused to disarm and free the remaining
hostages abducted during the October 7, 2023, attack.
