The World Food Programme has warned that the aid Israel is allowing to enter Gaza remains a “drop in the ocean”, days after famine was formally declared in the Palestinian territory, AFP reports.
Carl Skau, WFP’s chief operating officer, said that over the past two weeks, there has been a “slight uptick” in aid entering, averaging around 100 trucks per day.
“That’s still a drop in the ocean when we’re talking about assisting some 2.1 million people,” Skau told AFP during a visit to New Delhi.
“We need a completely different level of assistance to be able to turn this trajectory of famine around.”
