Defining the News
Rome, Italy – The UN’s World Food Programme said Sunday it was “deeply concerned” about the impact of war between Israel and Hamas on civilians struggling to get essential food supplies.
The Rome-based WFP in a statement said it was “deeply concerned about the rapidly deteriorating situation” in Israel and Palestinian territory and “the impact of this conflict on the affected populations”. The WFP is concerned about stocks in food shops and the impact of power cuts in the Gaza Strip, which already suffers from a chronic electricity deficit.Referring to Gaza — which was hammered by Israeli air strikes on 800 targets ahead of what many fear may be a ground invasion — the statement said “while most shops in the affected areas in Palestine currently maintain one month of food stocks, these risk being depleted swiftly as people buy up food in fear of a prolonged conflict”.
