1 in 3 people in Gaza hasn't eaten for days: UN

The UN’s top humanitarian official warned Sunday of an accelerating humanitarian disaster in Gaza, saying one in three people hasn’t eaten “for days” and children are “wasting away” amid severe food aid shortages.

Tom Fletcher, under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, welcomed Israel’s decision to support a one-week scale-up of aid, including lifting customs barriers and easing movement restrictions. Initial reports indicated that more than 100 truckloads of aid were collected from crossings to be transported into Gaza.
