The situation in Gaza is the worst since October 2023, the United Nations said has said, despite a resumption of limited aid deliveries in the Palestinian enclave where famine looms, Reuters reports.

“Any aid that gets into the hands of people who need it is good,” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters in New York. But, he added, the aid deliveries so far overall have had “very, very little impact”.

“The catastrophic situation in Gaza is the worst since the war began,” he said.
