UN runs out of food for Gaza

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.
