Experts from the UN World Food Programme have prepared a report saying that some 2.15 million civilians in the Gaza Strip will soon face severe food shortages.
It is specified that 96% of Gaza residents face the problem of access to food, with 495 thousand people experiencing a “catastrophic” shortage of food.
At the same time, the level of food shortage for another 745 thousand is assessed as emergency.
Earlier, the director of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN Office for Relations with Russia Oleg Kobyakov said that the threat of mass starvation in the Gaza Strip remains.
At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that almost a thousand times fewer people died of malnutrition in the Gaza Strip than the average annual death rate in the United States.
