🛑 *Gaza: 75 days without aid*
“_Families in Gaza are starving while the food they need is sitting at the border._”
— Cindy McCain, WFP Executive Director
*Right now, WFP trucks are waiting at the border with 130,000 metric tons of food, enough to help the entire population of Gaza for over two months.*
Here’s the latest:
🕒 Since 2 March, no humanitarian aid has been allowed into Gaza. That’s 75 days without access.
🍽️ Food is dangerously scarce. Hunger and malnutrition are rising fast.
⚠️ _Famine is a growing threat._
*In April, WFP delivered:*
🍛 11 million hot meals
📦 Food parcels for 5,000+ people
🌾 165 wheat flour bags
🍪 Emergency biscuits for over 73,000 people
But now...
🚛 Life-saving food is stuck at the border.
🔒 Families in Gaza are starving.
📣 “_If we wait until famine is confirmed, it will already be too late._” — Cindy McCain
Since 1991, WFP has served people in Gaza. From day one of this crisis, we’ve distributed food parcels, hot meals, flour for bakeries, and treated malnutrition.
*We now stand ready to rush life-saving food as soon as we have access. At the same time, we’re continuing food assistance in the West Bank and supporting families who have been displaced from Gaza.*
Thank you for your steadfast support and for standing with the UN World Food Programme (WFP) as we urge all parties to prioritize the needs of civilians, allow aid to enter Gaza immediately, and uphold international humanitarian law.
*Your support has been – and continues to be – a lifeline.*
