More than half of the Gaza Strip’s population could face death and famine “by mid-July” and severe food shortages could worsen in 21 countries, according to a United Nations report released this Wednesday.
A new edition of the warning report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Program (WFP) states that the situation in Gaza is the result of “the devastating impact of ongoing conflict, severe restrictions on the access of goods and the collapse of local agri-food systems.”
The report also notes that the entire population of the Gaza Strip, the site of the conflict that began in October last year, is experiencing the most severe situation of food insecurity since the Palestinian Islamist Hamas attack on Israel, which triggered about 1,200 deaths and left two hundred hostages, according to Tel Aviv. . Israel responded with attacks that killed more than 36,000 people, according to Hamas-controlled local authorities.
