The WFP emphasised that the Gaza Strip is facing an accelerating famine crisis, warning that "time is running out" to implement a comprehensive humanitarian response.
According to the statement, the organisation highlighted alarming signs of food insecurity, indicating that the situation is worsening rapidly within the besieged territory.
