"The World Food Program" warns.. We are facing difficulties and what enters Gaza is less than its needs.

The United Nations World Food Programme stated on Friday that the quantities of aid and goods entering the Gaza Strip are insufficient for its daily needs, warning that the difficulty in accessing some areas due to destroyed roads poses a barrier to relief efforts.

The programme mentioned that approximately 560 tons of food aid are entering Gaza daily on average since the ceasefire began, yet this remains below the level of needs in the sector.

Amid the spread of famine in parts of Gaza, Tom Fletcher, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, said on Wednesday that thousands of trucks loaded with aid must enter the Gaza Strip weekly to alleviate the crisis.

World Food Programme spokesperson Abir Atifa told reporters in Geneva, "The quantity is still below the needs, but we are getting closer to achieving that (...) The ceasefire has provided a narrow window, and the World Food Programme is moving very quickly to increase food aid."

The programme noted that it has not yet begun distribution operations in Gaza City, pointing out that the Zikim and Erez (Beit Hanoun) border crossings remain closed between the occupied territories and the northern sector, where the humanitarian crisis is intensifying.

Atifa stated, "Access to Gaza City and northern Gaza is a significant challenge," adding that convoys of wheat flour and ready-to-eat food parcels are struggling to move through damaged or blocked roads from the southern sector that has been devastated by war.

Despite small quantities of food reaching the north, relief convoys are still unable to transport large amounts of food there, as well as to other areas.
