"Gaza Crisis: Urgent Call for Immediate Food Aid to Prevent Famine"

Cindy McCain, executive director of the United Nations’s World Food Programme, emphasized the urgent need for food in Gaza amid the ongoing war, citing obstacles to delivering aid and expressing frustration over the rejection of a U.S.-backed resolution for an immediate cease-fire and humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza. The United Nations Security Council's rejection was due to Russia and China voting against it, with concerns raised about the resolution's impact on ensuring an actual and unconditional cease-fire. McCain previously warned of Gaza being on the brink of famine as the conflict continues.
