Northern Gaza is experiencing a “full-blown famine”, the head of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has said, and warned that it is “moving its way south”.
In an interview with NBC News set to air on Sunday, Cindy McCain said that her remarks are based on what the WFP has seen and experienced on the ground. UN officials and aid agencies have for months warned of such a scenario.
“It’s horror. It’s so hard to look at and it’s so hard to hear,” McCain told the US broadcaster’s Meet the Press programme.
“What we are asking for and what we continually ask for is a ceasefire and the ability to have unfettered access, to get in safe through the various ports and gate crossings,” she said, according to a video clip of the interview.
On Saturday, a delegation from Palestinian group Hamas was in Egypt to continue negotiations on a ceasefire amid an uptick in international pressure for a deal to be reached.
Hamas’s spokesman Osama Hamdan said there had been “some forward steps”.
Yet Israel has threatened to launch its ground invasion of Rafah in the southernmost tip of the enclave, which is home to more than 1.4 million displaced Palestinians who have fled the Israeli military’s relentless bombardment in other parts of the Gaza Strip.
Israel has severely restricted the entry of critical humanitarian supplies into Gaza despite warnings from its allies and the United Nations of a looming famine in parts of the Palestinian territory. Its military has also repeatedly attacked and killed Palestinian civilians waiting to collect aid in the Strip.

And I’m supposed to care ? Gaza should be an Israeli beach resort.
“Hamas has a long history of stealing aid, and needs to stop that in the interest of the people that they purport to represent.”
Sort of like what western governments are doing to their citizens. Just replace "food" and "aid" above with money.
Wasn’t there a post a few weeks ago about them complaining about the food we dropped on them and selling it on the streets? I, personally, would like to see them drop a few more pallets, I mean food, on the masses.
There should be no people in northern Gaza
Those that are don’t matter
Phoney balony. Media lapdogs repeat the lies.
The quickest way to end the “famine” is to end Hamas.
There is no famine or genocide. If people are hungry they should condemn Hamas for appropriating the aid for themselves. If they are angry about their homes being levelled condemn Hamas for starting a war. If people are angry about dead Gazans condemn Hamas for resisting a ceasefire and throw them out of power.
Well, in war that’s how you beat the enemy into submission. Very fair, especially if the populace hates you
Who stole tgeir ‘aid’
so the muslims countries around them refuse to feed them ?
Courtesy of Hamas.
Stop building rockets and tunnels and start farming
Considering the source is Al Jazeera, I am very doubtful.
Hamas is stealing the food, not our problem.the deep state is desperate to save Hamas
F@#$%@#$^#^ YOU! Anyone who wants food needed to move out months ago.
Easy solution. Hand over all hostages and turn in all Hamas murder pirates.
Al Jizz is my bible.
And Hamas still fires rockets at the main entrance of aid trucks into Gaza. Wonder why? Those that do get in are looted for Hamas use.
Rockets vs. aid. These are psychotic individuals.
Oops:
The UN is so crooked, I can’t believe a thing they say.
I think things are pretty screwed up in Gaza right now,
but hey, they asked for it. They got exactly what they
deserved.
Everyone there hates Jews. It is so ‘karma on display’
what has happened to the people who do.
