GAZA, (PIC)
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) issued a warning on Saturday that the rapid deterioration of the food security situation in the Gaza Strip has reached a critical stage, with indications of an imminent famine in the north.
In a post on its “X” platform account, the UN organization stated, “For the first time since the escalation of hostilities, our teams have succeeded in delivering the much-needed animal feed to Gaza.”
The FAO emphasized that the collapse of agricultural food value chains has led to a rapid deterioration of the food security situation, reaching a critical stage with indications of a famine in the north.
The UN organization stated, “The delivery of animal feed to Gaza is aimed at providing nutrition solutions.”
As a result of the war and Israeli restrictions, the population of Gaza, especially in Gaza City and the north, is on the brink of famine, with severe shortages of food, water, medicine, and fuel. This is compounded by the displacement of over two million Palestinians from the besieged territory, which has been under Israeli blockade for 17 years.
