The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that food supplies in Gaza are running critically low and the organisation will be unable to continue assisting the more than one million people it has helped over the past months.

“We are running out of our stocks to deliver,” the WFP’s Deputy Executive Director Carl Skau told Al Jazeera.

“That doesn’t mean that there may not be other stocks available. People might have some food in their homes. But we are running out and by Monday, I think, we will not be able to continue with our street kitchens,” Skau said.

“That means, from WFP’s point of view, there is nothing left. We have been assisting over a million people over these past few months,” he said.
