World Central Kitchen has temporarily halted food aid operations in Gaza due to a shortage of ingredients and logistical challenges, amid ongoing conflict and casualties, with the organization emphasizing the urgent need for safe access for aid trucks to resume feeding thousands of Palestinians.
Gaza is facing a catastrophic aid shortage, with a deficit of at least half a million tons of supplies, including food and medical necessities, due to restrictions imposed by Israel and Egypt. The situation has led to a looming famine, with up to half of Gaza's population at risk of starvation. Efforts to deliver aid by air and sea are underway, but they are far less efficient than land deliveries. The United Nations Secretary General has described the crisis as an entirely man-made disaster, and there are concerns about the high cost and logistical challenges of alternative aid delivery methods.
