Unrwa warns of imminent famine in Gaza Strip

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, has warned of an "approaching famine" in Gaza, where residents are grappling with severe food insecurity and a critical shortage of humanitarian aid amid the ongoing Israeli war, now in its 14th month.

In a series of posts on X yesterday evening, Unrwa said its teams are working to deliver aid to those in need but emphasised that the assistance is "far from sufficient".

The agency highlighted the worsening food insecurity in Gaza and called for "international cooperation and an immediate ceasefire to ensure the delivery of life-saving aid".
