Hunger crisis in Gaza is ‘catastrophic’ despite ceasefire, WHO chief says
AI Summary
The World Health Organization's chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has warned that the hunger crisis in Gaza remains "catastrophic" two weeks after a ceasefire took effect. The UN's health agency and aid groups have reported that supplies entering Gaza are not meeting the nutritional needs of its population. Only two crossings into the territory are open, resulting in only approximately 750 metric tonnes of food entering daily, compared to the target of 2,000 tonnes. At least a quarter of Gaza's population is starving, with 11,500 pregnant women affected. The effects of malnutrition will have "generational" impacts on newborns and their families. Aid groups are accusing Israel of blocking humanitarian deliveries, including essential items such as food, tents, and blankets.
