UN says people in Gaza ‘moving closer to starvation’

A spokesperson for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said on Saturday that “every day that passes pushes more and more people closer to starvation.”

Israel has repeatedly bombed bakeries and markets around the Strip, and cut off all food, water, electricity and fuel since 9 October, leaving people with no access to food. 

Aid has also been slow to trickle in, with bombings at the Rafah border hampering efforts for aid to come in.
