The UN World Food Programme says it has brought in about 560 tonnes of food per day on average into Gaza since the ceasefire began, but the amount is still below what is needed.
“We’re still below what we need, but we’re getting there … The ceasefire has opened a narrow window of opportunity, and WFP is moving very quickly and swiftly to scale up food assistance,” WFP spokesperson Abeer Etefa told reporters in Geneva.
The UN agency earlier today said it has enough food to feed all of Gaza for three months.
