The World Food Programme (WFP) will distribute the more than 2,000 metric tons of food supplies that the UK sent across the border.
This comes as a warning that “famine is imminent” in Gaza, according to a report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a collaboration of over a dozen nations, UN assistance, and other agencies that assesses the severity of food crises.
Lord Cameron pleaded with Israel to let in more humanitarian supplies into the beleaguered area.
“It’s crucial that we keep the flow of aid moving into Gaza to end the suffering, and that’s why this latest delivery of aid by WFP is so vitally important,” he stated.
The IPC report issues an urgent famine warning. To provide additional relief, we require continuous road access for humanitarians.
“We continue to push Israel to allow more crossings to open and for longer, and for healthcare, water and sanitation to be restored.”
