The UN’s World Food Programme says the organisation and partners are doing everything possible to deliver urgent assistance to people in Gaza, “but it’s just a drop in the ocean of needs”, Al Jazeera reports.

“We need to flood Gaza with food aid, and keep it flowing each and every day to prevent mass starvation,” its statement said on X.

“Families in Gaza are going days without food. Parents are making impossible choices — sacrificing their own meals, and even their safety, to feed their children,” the WFP post added.
