The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has sounded an alarm over the escalating food crisis in Gaza, warning on Thursday that hundreds of thousands are at risk of severe hunger and malnutrition.

The intensified military activities in the region have significantly hindered food assistance operations. For over three weeks, the WFP and its partners in food security have struggled to introduce new food supplies into the area, the organization revealed in a recent statement.

With current food stocks projected to last only two more weeks, the situation demands urgent global attention and intervention to prevent a humanitarian disaster.
