Negotiations held after Israeli prime minister’s postwar plan for Gaza draws US criticism
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said on Friday that “without adequate food and water supplies, as well as health and nutrition services, the elevated risk of famine in Gaza is projected to increase”.
“Humanitarians need unfettered access for an urgent scale-up of aid,” said Ocha, to “avert the threat of mass starvation”.
In a post on X, Ocha wrote:
Famine is looming, water is down to a trickle, diseases are rampant, the health system is decimated, and other basic supplies and services are severely limited.”
