UN expresses alarm of an “almost inevitable widespread famine” in the Gaza Strip. Without humanitarian access and with a devastated agricultural system, it is “imminent” “If nothing changes, famine is imminent in northern Gaza,” Carl Skau, deputy executive director of the World Food Program, told the UN Security Council.
This meeting followed a letter sent on February 22 to the Security Council by Martin Griffiths, detailing the direct and indirect impacts of the war on the food situation.
