The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed on Monday that the food system in Gaza is in complete collapse, and that the deepening famine in Gaza and the denial of aid access mean more lives will be lost.
According to the official United Nations website, the office noted that families in Gaza are forced to risk their lives to obtain food, explaining that rates of acute malnutrition have doubled among children, and that infant formula is running out.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed his deep dismay at the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reiterating his call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and the unconditional release of all hostages.
