GAZA (ALETIHAD)

The World Food Programme (WFP) announced that the prices of essential food items in Gaza have soared by over 1000 percent compared to pre-war levels.

In a statement, the WFP highlighted that the hunger crisis is worsening across the region, driven by the ongoing war and the Israeli blockade.

The statement quoted Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), saying, “The ongoing military operation in northern Gaza has displaced 130,000 people over the past seven weeks.”
