Two months after Israel closed all crossings to the Gaza Strip, there are warnings that mass starvation could be imminent.
The UN’s World Food Programme and Unrwa, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, recently said they have used up all their stocks of food aid.
A few dozen remaining food kitchens are now the only source of a daily meal for hundreds of thousands of people.
Israel shut all crossings to Gaza on 2 March – preventing all goods, including food, fuel and medicines from entering – and resumed its military offensive two weeks later, ending a two-month ceasefire with Hamas.
It said these steps were meant to put pressure on Hamas to release the hostages it still holds.
