The UN World Food Programme has warned that its food aid stocks are fully depleted in Gaza, where starvation looms as Israel continues a total blockade, according to Al Jazeera.

“To meet the basic needs of the population in Gaza, it is critical that we are able to resume food deliveries into Gaza immediately,” WFP’s Palestine country director Antoine Renard said in a post shared on social media.

WFP has more than 116,000 tonnes of food supplies already positioned and ready to enter Gaza through aid corridors, as soon as Israel reopens Gaza borders.
