'Drop in the ocean': WFP chief says aid that entered Gaza so far not enough
22 October 2023 15:20 BST
The head of the UN World Food Program (WFP) described the situation in Gaza as "catastrophic" as only 0.002 percent of the coastal enclave's immediate relief needs have entered so far.
Cindy McCain described the 20 aid trucks that were allowed to enter via Egypt on Saturday as a "drop in the ocean".
Speaking on ABC's This Week programme, McCain said aid agencies needed secure and sustainable access to the enclave.
She added that the WFP is doing its very best to ensure aid gets to the people who need it but that Gaza was a war zone and that "things happen".
