UN warns Israel blocking nearly all food aid to 'hungriest place on earth'

The UN's humanitarian office (OCHA) has accused Israel of severely restricting aid to Gaza, with spokesperson Jens Laerke calling it "the hungriest place on earth".
Only 600 of 900 pre-approved trucks reached Gaza's border this week, with most unable to deliver due to security and bureaucratic hurdles.
"What we've brought in is flour," Laerke said on Friday. "That's not ready to eat... 100 percent of Gazans face famine risk."
The Red Cross reports half its Gaza medical facilities are non-operational due to fuel and equipment shortages.
