The World Food Programme has completely run out of food stocks in Gaza, according to a statement reported by Al Jazeera.
“No humanitarian or commercial supplies have entered Gaza for more than seven weeks as all main border crossing points remain closed,” the same source reported.
According to the WFP statement, “this is the longest closure the Gaza Strip has ever faced".
In November 2024, the United Nations Special Committee stated that Israel was using “starvation as a weapon of war,” a violation that is “consistent with the characteristics of genocide".
