World Food Programme: not enough food is entering Gaza

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) stated on October 21st that, since the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, food supplies reaching Gaza are still far below the daily target of 2,000 tons, according to Reuters.

According to the WFP, only roughly 750 metric tons of food have been reaching Gaza, and entrance is only possible through two Israeli-controlled crossings — none of which are on the north of the enclave, a vulnerable and famine-hit area.

WFP spokesperson Abeer Etefa said in a press briefing that “to be able to get this scale up, we have to be able to use every border crossing point”.
