Catastrophic hunger - 40% of Gaza's population at risk of famine

[Createaplant]

Being reported by the Guardian:

40% of Gaza’s population is at risk of famine, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency said on Saturday.

“Every day is a struggle for survival, finding food and water,” the UN agency for Palestinian refugees added.

Too sad and completely unnecessary. If only adequate aid, food and water was allowed in.

Surprised its only 40% at risk of famine.

Now that a ceasefire has been agreed for Hezbollah and Israel hopefully Hamas and Israel ceasefire is next.

The article that started this thread that stated 40% is almost a year old

That might explain it then. Are there more recent estimates.

Good grief it's awful

It is, and will just keep getting worse
