The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) confirmed on Saturday that it has a large food stockpile sufficient to meet the needs of the residents of the Gaza Strip for up to three full months, warning that the continued prevention of these aid supplies from entering the region will exacerbate the hunger crisis affecting hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families.
The agency stated in an official statement that this stockpile is currently located in its warehouses inside and outside the Palestinian territories, and includes essential food items such as flour, rice, oil, sugar, lentils, and other necessary supplies for the survival of the population.
UNRWA clarified that the entry of these food shipments has become "extremely critical to halt the worsening famine in Gaza," calling on all parties to facilitate the immediate and safe passage of humanitarian convoys.
Time is running out, and every hour of delay means more lives that could be saved if food were to be delivered immediately.
