WFP: Chances of tackling famine in Gaza are rapidly fading

The World Food Programme warned on Tuesday that the window of opportunity to address the famine caused by Israel in the Gaza Strip is "fast closing."

The UN program said on its X platform that its teams working in the Gaza Strip are "adapting immediately" to Israeli restrictions on the distribution of aid to Palestinians.

He explained that adaptation would be achieved by "establishing new distribution points, overcoming severe restrictions, and using safe routes to reach those in need wherever they are" in the Gaza Strip.

He stressed that "the opportunity to confront famine in Gaza is rapidly fading" due to continued Israeli restrictions on the entry of aid into the besieged Strip.
