#Gaza update. No aid had entered Gaza for over three weeks, leaving WFP with enough food stocks for a maximum of two weeks.
Some key facts:
The closure of border crossings is blocking the entry of any commodities, humanitarian or commercial.
The ongoing fighting is severely disrupting food assistance operations and putting the lives of aid workers at risk every day.
Given the deteriorating situation, growing needs and rapid displacement of people, WFP has decided to distribute as much food as possible, as quickly as possible.
WFP operations currently support bakeries, hot meals kitchens, and the distribution of food parcels directly to families - each facing record low stocks inside Gaza.
WFP and partners have positioned more than 85,000 tons of food commodities outside Gaza, ready to be brought in if border crossings are opened.
Urgent access is needed to get aid into Gaza.
