The past few months have pushed Gaza to a new level of distress. The World Food Program, part of the United Nations, said this week that the crisis in Gaza had reached “astonishing levels of desperation, with a third of the population not eating for multiple days in a row.”

Almost one in three people in the Gaza Strip are going for days without eating, the UN's food aid programme has warned. Keir Starmer suggests UK will play role in aid air drops.
