The World Food Programme (WFP) has again reiterated its call for an end to Israel’s blockade on aid into Gaza, saying Palestinians there “do not know where their next meal is coming from”, according to Al Jazeera.

“Gaza needs food now”, the WFP said in a post on X, and urged “all parties to prioritise the needs of civilians, protect humanitarian workers and allow aid to enter Gaza immediately”.

The Israeli blockade, which began on March 2, is the longest continuous restriction on aid into Gaza since Israel launched its war on the territory in October 2023.
