The World Food Programme (WFP) stressed on Saturday the urgent need for aid to reach the Gaza Strip, as food stocks dwindle and Israel continues to close crossings as part of its starvation policy as part of its genocide of Palestinians.

The UN program has again warned that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of severe hunger and malnutrition as food stocks dwindle and Israel continues to close the crossings.

In a post on his X account, he stressed the "urgent need for urgent aid access to the Gaza Strip."

In a statement on Thursday, the World Food Programme warned that thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are once again facing the threat of severe hunger and malnutrition as food stocks in the Strip dwindle and crossings remain closed to aid.

The program added that "the expansion of military activity in Gaza is severely hampering food assistance operations and putting the lives of relief workers at risk."

On March 2, Israel closed the Gaza Strip's crossings to the entry of humanitarian, relief, and medical aid, causing an unprecedented deterioration in the humanitarian situation, according to local government and human rights reports.

Regarding the latest developments in food security in Gaza, the World Food Programme stated that it and its partners have been unable to bring new food supplies into Gaza for more than three weeks.

He pointed out that Israel's continued closure of border crossings since March 2nd has prevented the entry of any humanitarian or commercial goods.

The program explained that it has approximately 5,700 tons of food stocks remaining in Gaza, sufficient to support its operations for a maximum of two weeks.

On Sunday, the Government Media Office in Gaza warned in a statement of rising rates of hunger and malnutrition and the dangers of Israel's continued policy of starvation against Palestinians.

On March 18, Israel reneged on the 58-day ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement, resuming its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip that began on October 7, 2023. The war has resulted in the deaths and injuries of more than 164,000 Palestinians, most of them children and women, and in more than 14,000 missing persons.

Israel has been blockading Gaza for the 18th year, leaving approximately 1.5 million of its 2.4 million Palestinian citizens homeless after their homes were destroyed in the war of extermination. The Strip has entered the first stages of famine due to Tel Aviv's closure of the crossings to humanitarian aid.
