Gaza to face “catastrophic hunger” if conflict continues: WFP

Tehran, IRNA – World Food Program (WFP) has warned that Gaza will grapple with catastrophic hunger if the conflict continues.

"More than one in four households in Gaza currently face extreme hunger, and there is a risk of famine unless access to adequate food, clean water, health and sanitation services is restored," the WFP wrote on Thursday.

The WFP had written earlier on Wednesday, “Half of Gaza's population is starving, with nine out of ten Palestinians eating less than one meal a day and struggling to find clean, drinkable water. Hungry and weak, more Gazans are falling sick – their compromised immunity making them susceptible to disease. 

According to an announcement by the Gaza Government Media Office on Wednesday, at least 20,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed and over 55,000 injured since the war began on October 7.
