Gaza aid trucks rushed by desperate and hungry crowds, WFP says
Desperate crowds in Gaza rushed aid trucks as hunger and chaos prevailed, according to the World Food Programme (WFP). With a blockade partially lifted, WFP distributed aid to help the "desperate" two million people at risk of famine in Gaza. However, challenges persist in distributing aid due to escalating insecurity and delays in approvals, emphasizing the urgent need for humanitarian assistance amid ongoing Israeli air strikes and escalating casualties.
