UNRWA calls for flooding Gaza with aid to prevent "worst-case scenario of famine"

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) described the situation in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday as a "worst-case scenario of famine" and called for a flood of humanitarian aid.

UNRWA said via its X platform that "the worst-case scenario for famine is now occurring in Gaza, according to leading international experts. It is an entirely man-made famine," referring to Israel's genocidal war.

She continued: "Gaza has reached the brink of famine, with starvation and malnutrition widespread throughout the war-torn territory, including among children."

"More than 100 people have died of hunger in the past few weeks alone," according to the UN agency.

She stressed that "the only way to stop this disaster is to flood Gaza with massive amounts of aid."
