In a statement, the WFP said that it sent a convoy of food aid comprising 14 trucks to northern Gaza. However, the
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) returned the convoy after a three-hour wait at
the Wadi Gaza checkpoint, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
Deputy Executive Director of WFP, Carl Skau stated, "Although today’s convoy did not make it to the north to provide food to the people who are starving, the UN World Food Program continues to explore every possible means to do so.”
A senior
UN aid official also informed the
Security Council last week that at least 576,000 people in Gaza, approximately a quarter of its population, are one step away from famine.
Notably,
WFP had temporarily halted aid deliveries on February 20 due to unstable security conditions.
