OCHA humanitarian agency warns mission to deliver help is ‘one of most obstructed aid operations in recent history’
Gaza is “the hungriest place on Earth”, according to the UN, which warned on Friday that the Palestinian territory’s entire population was at risk of famine.
Jens Laerke, a spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said the territory was “the only defined area – a country or defined territory within a country – where you have the entire population at risk of famine. One hundred per cent of the population at risk of famine,” he said.
