The UN and EU warn of hunger in the Gaza Strip and are calling for aid deliveries. More than a million people, around half of the population of the sealed-off coastal strip, are at risk of catastrophic hunger.
According to international experts, there is a risk of famine, the worst form of the hunger crisis, especially in northern Gaza. Israel decided to take “immediate steps” to increase humanitarian aid for the civilian population in theGaza Strip. The War Cabinet decided this morning to temporarily open the port of Ashdod and the Erez border crossing.
